Former Prime Minister and PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto said that she was under pressure to extend hand to other political forces, as it seems that the PPP-government deal has failed.

“ I am under pressure and worried that time is running out,” she said in an interview to a US TV channel. “ Talks with General Pervez Musharraf is open secret, “ she added.

Benazir said a week ago she was hopeful about the deal but she had an apprehension that some elements were against the PPP-government deal.- [News via GeoTv]

    Yeah! its true that she is always under pressure to do unwanted things which she never wanted to or wanted if there’s a charm of any deal

    Using words as above does not add to anyone’s understanding of issues. This isn’t one’s drawing room but a site on the WORLD WIDE WEB.

    @ angud
    I have taken notice of it, I will be moderating these kinds of comments.

    I am sorry if somebody’s feelings are hurt but we get really hurt when we remember the most corrupt days of Pakistani’s history

    I think we are currently going through the most corrupt period in our history. Never before has so much been looted by a corrupt General and his posse of opportunists. Transparency International ranks us more corrupt under Mushrrraf than ever under BB or Nawaz. I may not be a fan of BB but at least she is presentable and speaks intelligently unlike the illiterate Mushrraf . Musharraf is viewed as an illiterate clown abroad and not simply because of his poor spoken English. Nawaz doesn;t seem to have much of a political future but I wish his brother Shahbaz would take a more direct role becasue he accomplished a lot more good in power than did others. Take the improvement of Lahore under his watch. He was seen as a mover and shaker. All we see now is Generals and corrupt Mush’s cronies staching money abroad in property and businesses. I hope they will be taken to court for all of their misdeeds when civil society returns to Pakistan and the clown is put in jail where he belongs.

    Dear Musharraf has never said any thing like what the BB is saying these days in her recent trip to U.S. You know she is ready to hand over your national hero, A.Q.Khan, she is now saying that she will allow U.S strike in Pakistan to elimiminate Osama. She’s actually gone mad to become prime minister regardless of what ever deal she has to made. Now rethink!.

    Im not a fan of musharraf, he’s an extremist in another way but frankly much better than BB

  8. Mahmood Says:

    I’m no fan of BB or of Musharraf; they are both ready to place our nation’s interests behind that of the United States. I am for rule of law and respect for our constitution. Even if I don;t like BB and she will be playing the same game that Musharraf is playing, she would at least be an elected representative of the people of Pakistan and not a self appointed dictator. I am more interested in the long term development of a stable political set up in Pakistan. We won’t get this from the religious Mullah types nor the autocratic military types. Those people who prefer BB or Mushrraf becasue she is better educated and well spoken than the thickly accented and uninspiring Mushrraf also miss the mark. It has nothing to do with appearance or even of substance because they are both flawed. Mushrraf has no legal or consitutional basis for his rule and he has set back the development of civil society in our nation another decade if not more. In many ways any el;ected representative is better than the illiterate Musharraf.
