Sir: PPP jiyalas, some years back, have been chanting slogan of Ik Zardari Sab Pey Bhari particularly at the election time. On tends to endorse their claim as Asif Ali Zardari is the most clever and ambitious man among the whole lot of politicians.
Asif Ali Zardari was virtually a non-entity in mid-1980s and after his marriage with Benazir Bhutto and has not paused and looked back since then despite all the ups and downs. He has the skills to maneuver things as well as circumstances in his favour and still come out all neat, clean and smiling.
Following the killing of Benazir Bhutto in December 2007, Zardari had not lost a moment in capturing the leadership of PPP.
When Zardari had become the President in 2008, some reports had appeared in the newspapers then which said that his foreign exchange assets had reached 200 billion dollars. This was denied by the PPP leaders following day by saying that the figure so given is 13 years old and it should be updated. Indeed, PPP jiyalas slogan so chanted was right in view of host of hidden and known qualities which Asif Ali Zardari has unmatched by anyone else.
