Whatever credibility Ms. Bhutto enjoyed during her exile period has been diluted to the much extent following her secret deal with President Pervez Musharraf, reportedly at the behest of the US. The deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif too hailed in the same boat along with Ms. Bhutto but he was unceremoniously showed the ’No Entry” card by the present regime while Ms. Bhutto was given a favoured treatment when she landed in Pakistan. Yes, she enjoyed better goodwill among the Pakistanis compared to her political rival ’Mian’. But in her eagerness to share power, she lost the support among electorate. Both She and Mian Sahib are not much favoured by the Pakistanis. It is likely that the Pakistan Peoples Party of Ms. Bhutto may witness a vertical split during the coming days and her detractors within the party ranks may raise revolt against her. In that eventuality, the third force may emerge as the forerunner in the power struggle.

Not, at all……..

I don’t think that Ms. Bhutto’s return will make much difference to the undemocratic and chaotic state of affairs in Pakistan under the autocratic regime of the army General cum President, Pervez Musharraf.

Ms. Bhutto may deny any political deal with Musharraf, but it is virtually evident that Bhutto’s homecoming is an instant consequence of the latest under-table agreement between the Pakistani President and the former PM.

Therefore, it doesn’t look that Bhutto will break the deal, which paved the way for her return to Pakistan, and dare to confront the iron rule of Musharraf – at least in the near future – until the key to the democracy is in his pocket.

Not at all. Mush’s return does not depend upon anything other than his own or their master US’s will to let him become the president. After all their is a famous saying in Pakistan : ”Who runs Pakistan : Upar Allah niche Marshal Law” meaning Pakistan is run by the Almighty God from the heaven from up there int he skies and on earth its run by the military.

Absolutely Not... Democracy is like a cap everybody wants to have on to just prove that he or she is a firm believer in democratic principles. This is all a game of Give and Take. Benazir Bhutto has come back to Pakistan because Musharraf wants her presence in Pakistani politics just to make sure other people inside (extremists) and outside (US) that opposition parties do exist in Pakistan. Behind the curtain Musharraf is Super Boss. It has been proved earlier with the re-exile of Nawaz Sharif from Pakistan because he could pose stiff fight to Musharraf in the battle of survival for him. So, it doesn’t matter Benazir is in Pakistan or out of Pakistan. She has accepted in an interview that She and Musharraf had secret deal and it proved that she is ready to become just another puppet of Musharraf.

Today’s suicide attack on Benazir Bhutto in Karachi is the burning example that everything is going on wrong way in Pakistan politics these days. Extremists in Pakistan are not going to tolerate Musharraf’s new game to survive by asking Benazir to join active politics after 8 years of exile. Benazir luckily survived in the twin blast occurred near her cavalcade that killed more than 140 people right at the spot in Karachi. More than 400 people have been injured in the twin blast. This is being called as the deadliest attack on any political leader in Pakistan till the date. Where is the question of benefit now?
