By black-marketing cinema tickets and watching a lot of films and dreaming a lot does not make a man warrior, he, M. Zardari, could be a, pirate, pillager or plunderer. Having lost a district council seat from Nawabshah in 1983.

Mr.10% entered in the mainstream politics through a backdoor. He has cheeks to challenge military establishment. I would label such a person as “mad man”.
Asif Zardari calls himself a political warrior and claims he knows the art of diplomacy? Yet his party workers have defected and party has imploded without firing a bullet, they killed themselves in federal and Punjab.

Zardari vows to be a warrior but instead is a weak man. He allowed gang lords to control him out of fear. He feared to stop them. He gave them the opportunity to commit crimes at will. They chased Altaf Hussain out of town as well. He is still useful in protecting them. No one was completely safe from assassination in Karachi. So long as Zardari and Hussain looked the other way they remained safe. That is why Zardari’s posturing as a leader seems so false. Leaders have courage. It is missing in this man.

I don’t know about his mastery over Art of diplomacy but he has definitively perfected the art of Corruption. He is known to be well versed in the Art of Embezzlement, and Intimidation. This accidental President has been walking on the coattail of Bhuttos for too long. He exploited Bhutto name for long enough, PPP is just about finished, rats are leaving the sinking ship.

Surprisingly, Mr. Zardari is still optimistic of being relieved of money laundering allegation on technical grounds. Evidences so far collected and reported in press are not only compellable but more than enough to warrant a criminal proceedings against Mr Zardari and Ms Feryal Talpur.

It was a foregone conclusion that denying the accused their home turf & aiding provincial setup, by shifting these cases from Karachi to Islamabad, will bring a +ve change to this lethargic ongoing proceedings. It can further be logically construed that those involved in this sordid money laundering scheme, finding it more secure to become approver, in order to boost this slow accountability process ongoing since 2015.

This positive twist which is an outcome of a well thought out & smart move by NAB, should be a worrisome phenomenon for the Zardari & Co. who have after exhausting all possible venues, are now threatening to opt for a political confrontation through their so-called march to Islamabad to oust the sitting govt. like they say “desperate times result in desperate measure”, one is not sure when this Quixotic move by PPP will occur but PM’s open invitation to those opting for it, doesn’t provide a promise of peaceful times ahead, instead raising the stakes for everybody involved
Provinces are in danger because of Federation; Democracy is in danger because of Established; Pakistan is in danger because of its neighbors; and the people of Pakistan are in danger because of the dangers faced by their leaders. Keep repeating
