Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Zulfiqar Mirza, sent the party leadership looking for salve after he once again scorched the party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari in a blistering statement.
“Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto did not sacrifice her life to help Mr Zardari become a billionaire,” Mirza remarked.
Except for Bilawal Bhutto, all the PPP leaders were on ‘daily wages’, said Mirza, adding no amount to ‘graft money’ could satisfy their ballooning bellies that were always stretching to accommodate more as if made of rubber.
“Bilawal has started a crusade to save Pakistan People’s Party,” the former home minister Sindh said.
Later, in a counterstatement, senior PPP leader Moula Baksh Chandio called Mirza to carpet for his scathing remarks.
“Mirza’s statements are only hurting the PPP, but let me tell you we will not let anyone get away with it,” Chandio said.
A day earlier, Giving ground to the prevailing gossip that the party top brass was drifting apart, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Zulfiqar Ali Mirza accused some of his peers of conspiring to bar party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari from taking part in the active politics of Pakistan.
“No one can stop Bilwal from doing politics in the country of his origin,” the former home minister of Sindh.
According to Mirza, some toady PPP leaders were trying to keep the party chairman out of the political picture.
“Who can stop someone, who has the blood of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto running through his veins? Their designs will die their own death,” the polititian claimed said adding, “My leader is only Bilawal.”
Replying to a question as to who in his opinion was behind this conspiracy against the scion of Bhutto family, Mirza firmly pointed a finger at the Co-chairman of PPP, Asif Ali Zardari.
“Zardari could be pulling the strings of those pawns, who are campaigning against Bilawal,” Mirza said.
Mirza also picked apart Mutttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) for playing ‘coalition coalition’ with PPP in Sindh.
“I see PPP-MQM alliance as “complicity” among carjackers. By the way if thieves join their hands together, looting becomes a breeze,” Mirza said somewhat implying the MQM joined Sindh government out of the doctrine of necessity.
It is pertinent to note that Mirza has been widely acknowledged to be the creator of the banned “People’s Amn Committee” a criminal organisation that has taken extortion, kidnapping and street crime to extreme levels in Karachi.
