Zardari sab pe bhari

In this post whatever you will read is only and only my personal views. However, these views are molded by the events, circumstances, and my understanding of the Pakistani politics.

Zardari sab pe bhari has become a quite common phrase being pronounced by many a men in our country. What I understand of this phrase is that Zardari is cunning than anyone else in Pakistani politics.

Asif Ali Zardari is the 11th President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He took this honor on 9th September, 2008 and gave disgrace in return to the whole nation of Pakistan. Asif Ali Zardari is the widower of the two times Prime Minister of Pakistan Ms. Benazir Bhutto, the daughter of the Prime Minister/President/Civilian Martial Law Administrator Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

While writing the above sentence, I realized how unlfortunate our nation is. What leaders do we choose?

It is not wealth only that is important to change the ways society develops and progresses. The most important thing in improving lives of people is through learning. Learning comes through education. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto earned his B.A. in political science from  University of California, Berkley, and L.L.B, Advanced L.L.M and MSce in Political Science from Christ Church, a constituent college of the University of Oxford. Benazir Bhutto attended Radcliffe College at Harvard University and received a B.A with a cum-laude honours in comparative government. Later she studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. Whereas, Asif Ali Zardari, got his early education from an army college, Cadet College Petaro, where he was notorious of breaking rules in the college and indiscipline behaviour with the college administration and students. What would you expect of such a person for higher education who was not interested in education at the early age? Well one can argue that people can realize later about education and many actually do who come from at least educated families. However, in case of Asif Ali Zardari, he chose not to. This is nothing, adding salt to wounds is that he claims that he went to London Business School and graduated from there and attended Pedinton School in Britain, however, this is not confirmed. How funny it is? Isn't it. His education is not confirmed!

The good thing is that he has never been elected by Pakistani people but he has been selected by senators. He served in Benazir's second government and got tagged as "Mr. 10 percent". People get titles of Sir, Allama, and so on, but our President started his political career to get the title of Mr. 10 percent. Even that did not suffice to his CV. He very cleverly added more to this, Jail - which he rightly deserved - I must say he should never have been released from Jail, he must have got life imprisonment. Anyways, the people who released him are in some way his accomplice. Not only corruption but also murder cases have been his degrees on his CV - Murder case of Murtaza Bhutto, brother of Benazir Bhutto. I don't know but I think he could be involved in his wife's murder as after Benazir's death, he announces himself as the Co-chairman of Pakistan's Peoples Party (the governing party, party found by Late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto).

It is shame for the people of Pakistan that they still chose him to be President. I would say people of Pakistan are more uneducated than Zardari. We as a nation have a very short-term memory and we are very emotional nation. Just at the killing of Benazir Bhutto, rather than mourning the death, the whole nation goes crazy, destroying the people's wealth in the form of banks, shopping centers, business buildings and schools (my God). Already we lack the proper utilization of resources, skills, education, learning, facilities, infra-structure, etc, we dont bother to save them. Every year, we push ourselves back economy wise, development wise, by four to five years. This is what we want as a nation? Probably yes, when we see the majority of people doing this.

Asif Ali Zardari after assuming office as a President has been running a puppet show in a Piccadilly Circus. The chief Puppet is Yusuf Raza Gilani, the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan, the second in command is Rehman Malik - wow who has been awarded an honorary PhD degree by Karachi University - Shame on Karachi University Board of Governors! This is the height of illness of education in our society. If anyone wants to measure the level of competency of education system, he/she should see how our universities award the most prestigious degrees and to whom they award. By rewarding degree to Rehman Malik, it seems that we have black sheep teaching and grooming our young generation. I don't have more to say about it.

Zardari sab pe bhari, the most cunning person. He has been playing a game of wolves. If any wolf tries to sleep, the other wolves will attack him and tear him apart. Zardari has played all his cards. He has not left any institution of Pakistani federation to cast a slur upon. Army, the most respectable institution has been targeted very badly in his government period. ISI, one of the most efficient intelligence agency, gets darkened by the Zardari coal mines. Judiciary is treated as a piece of shit. The government's slogan is we want the parliament to be stronger, we want the institutions to be answerable to the parliamentary committees under the auspices of corrupt politicians. Haha! What a joke!

Zardari does not need to resign but the nation needs to wake up! It is a wake up call, the person who could not study in high school, the nation wants him to build an education system competing the world education system. The person who is known as Mr. 10 percent, the nation wants him to clean the country of corruption shit. The person who is blamed to murder his wife's brother, the nation wants him to have a strong judiciary. The person who embezzled country's assets, the nation wants him to strengthen the tax/revenue system. The person who is of loose character, the nation wants him to make our country stronger.

We need good leaders but most important is that we need good nation who chooses good leaders. If we do not have persons of good character, then we must choose leaders who are of less bad character. I don't think we can change the fate of our nation in another 20 years, but at least we can try punishing people who take the responsibility of reigning this country and do not deliver. We have to have our character and moral principles intact.

I forgot to mention that when we want to read jokes, we usually enjoy jokes about stupid people. Every culture/nation have their characters who they joke about. For example, Swedish or Europeans have jokes about Blondes, Indians have jokes about Sikhs, and so on. But do you know what kind of jokes do we have in Pakistan? Two kinds of, one about Pathans and other about Zardari. Now Zardari has been a gali (gali is an urdu word for abuse). I am not joking but it is the fact! You just type Zardari jokes in google or bing search engines and you will know what Zardari Jokes are!

Zardari sab pe bhari hay sab se bari gali! 

Bye for now!
