Ghinwa Bhutto: Bush Threatened Us, But Zardari Has Taken Pakistan To The Stone Age
Ghinwa Bhutto, the chairperson of Pakistan Peoples Party-SB, says Pakistan’s present rulers are a ‘mafia’, and suggested the media won’t provide coverage to her son and daughter, the real heirs of the Bhutto family, or to other new political faces because the media fears the wrath of the government of President Asif Ali Zardari.
In an interview with the online news portal The News Tribe at Zulfiqar Bhutto’s old house in Clifton, Murtaza Bhutto’s widow said most of the new voters will vote for Imran Khan’s PTI in the next elections but she doubted there will be any major change on the political landscape of Pakistan. She accused most of Pakistan’s political parties of being ‘establishment parties’, but she appeared to exclude PTI from this label. She criticized Khan for what she said was his failure to offer land reforms that would challenge the feudal elite. When asked if a hidden ‘force’ was promoting PTI, Bhutto said Pakistanis were flocking to PTI because they want change.
When asked if her son, ZAB Jr., the direct grandson of Pakistan’s former prime minister, would run in the next elections and challenge Zardari’s son, Bilwal, she said: “There is no comparison of Zulfiqar and Fatima with Bilawal, Asifa and Bakhtawar because both sides represent two different classes. My children represent the poor, while they represented the rich.”
Bhutto said she strongly opposed reopening the US, NATO supply line through Pakistan to Afghanistan.
“Under the current circumstances, NATO supplies should not be restored. What have the Americans offered to Pakistan? We believe that the conditions of alliance with the Americans are totally unfair for Pakistan. We should not allow them to attack the people of Pakistan and we should demand halt in drone attacks. I think in the current relationship, Pakistanis are treated only as servants,” she said.
She launched a scathing attack on the government of President Asif Ali Zardari.
“What have they performed? They haven’t done anything. We have gone back to the Stone Age. There is no industry, there is no cash, there is no law and order, people have no treatment, they have no hospitals working and they have no schools. George Bush only threatened us of the Stone Age but Pakistan Peoples Party’s government has actually done that,” Bhutto said.
She said her party has some following in Sindh and Balochistan and she wanted to expand the party’s reach to other provinces but that she was holding back because of the bad security situation.
She sent a message to the students of the universities of Sindh, Karachi, Balochistan, Punjab and Peshawar and asked them to enter politics to change the system.

Killing Corruption (PM Gilani)
Killing Corruption: Ephedrine chemical quota of 9,000 kilograms was allocated to Berlex Labs International and Danas Pharmaceutical Limited, the alleged favourites of the premier’s son, Ali Musa Gilani. The chemical is also used in production of psychotropic drugs, which was allegedly sold to smugglers to stuff their pockets with a windfall profit. According to reports Tauqir Ali Khan was the intermediary in the ephedrine scandal. According to the findings of ANF, the former director general health Rasheed Juma illegally allowed the allocation. Another former director general health, Asad Hafeez, and the then secretary health Khushnood Lashari also allowed the allocation and sale of the chemical to the companies. The chemical was procured from Alpha Chemicals and delivered to one Zari Mohammad, who was neither a licensed drug dealer nor worked for any of the pharmaceutical companies. The challan disclosed that Danas Pharmaceutical had claimed that it produced over 80 million tablets of meton from the ephedrine but could not produce any evidence to prove the claim. The company`s claim that it distributed the tablets in Gilgit and Skardu also turned out to be wrong as its chemists in these areas mentioned in the list provided by the company denied of receiving any tablet from it. The Berlex also claimed of distributing 210 million tablets of meton but it also failed to prove it.
