THE POLITICAL CHILD

The slain leader of Pakistan, Mrs Benazir Bhutto, had in her will asserted that the responsibility of leading the Pakistan Peoples Party be taken over by her husband Mr. Asif Ali Zardari. For reasons best known to him and the Party, he has further passed on the mantle to his nineteen year old son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. All talk of democratic values get negated when such acts of dynastic 'selection' takes place.The senior leaders of the party are also to share the blame who in their quest to garner sympathy votes, in the wake of the terrible assasination have succumbed to un-democratic ways.
