Sir: According to the PPP’s central executive committee, Asif Zardari, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, has been nominated co-chairman of the party as indicated in Bhutto’s will. Further, he has nominated his son Bilawal to be the chairman.
The late Ms Bhutto had been struggling for democracy in Pakistan since 1977. She should have stuck to democratic principles and not ‘nominated’ an heir to the chairpersonship of the party. The chairman of a political party should be democratically elected, and as the PPP claims to be a democratic and modern political entity, that is the process that should have determined its next leader.
If there is no real democracy within the party, and if the chairpersonship is being passed on within a particular family, then how does the PPP hope to run the country democratically?
