Partly Facetious: no move to negate Benazir's ceaseless appearances

"Since BB came she is the only news coming out from Pakistan."
Published October 27, 2007

"Since BB came she is the only news coming out from Pakistan."
"Well she does have a presence and..."
"The President, the Chosen One, the Chaudharys have somehow become news number two since her arrival."
"Don't rub it in - those poor guys are suffering and..."
"And they have not yet come out with a proposal to negate her constant appearances."
"Not effectively. I mean they did propose that rallies should be banned for security reasons but BB evidently disagrees."
"Right from having her appear once every few weeks while she was in self-imposed exile to her appearance being a daily exercise now."
"And that too more than once..."
"Some people are blaming her for the recent deaths in Karachi..."
"She has to take responsibility."
"You believe she should not have come. What are you? A Lota now?"
"No, I don't think she should not have come but having a mass rally which slowly led its way towards the Quaid's mausoleum - how many hours did that take exactly? I mean over seven to eight if not more...she should have gone straight to the mausoleum and delivered her speech and..."
"She had to show her strength - I mean without that she was a non-entity..."
"Like Nawaz Sharif."
"He does have support in Punjab - his party really doesn't have the organisational abilities that the Jiyalas displayed."
"Don't forget the Jiyalas were not discouraged and the police presence was for protection not for intimidation..."
"I still believe the Nawalas were not organised and that's their biggest issue."
"Agreed, meanwhile the media has overwhelmed us with BB."
"She makes better copy than the drab men in pale shalwar kameez."
"Indeed."
