Partly Facetious: What is Zardari League?

"0Shah Mehmood Qureshi referred to Zardari League."
Published November 16, 2011

"0Shah Mehmood Qureshi referred to Zardari League."
"I would dismiss that! It was merely an attempt to distinguish between President Zardari and his wife Benazir Bhutto and to get political mileage out of it."
"But seriously the two are not synonymous. Two individuals cannot think alike or indeed act alike. Benazir was different from her father and need I add Bilawal Bhutto will be different from his mother and father especially in terms of governance. And Ms Bhutto was certainly different from the President."
"Do you think that the President would pass on the mantle to his son?"
"Of course, he would, I know you are thinking of his exhortation to his party to select Faryal Talpur his sister as head of the party but..."
"Doubt if that would happen."
"Well, Rehman Malik and Babar Awan and Governor Punjab Khosa and Raja Rental would all accept Talpur as the head of the party in case something happens to the President but would the grass root jiyala? I mean it would be really stretching it to select Ms Talpur as chairperson of the PPP as a sister-in-law..."
"He is thinking as a sister."
"Ah yes, so Zardari League charge has validity."
"Indeed, the President remains the undisputed chairman and can pass it on to who ever he feels like."
"Do you think the Sonia Gandhi syndrome would enter into the fray?"
"You mean downgrading her once Congress (I) lost elections and then not seeking her out till the party thought the Gandhi name was required to win."
"Right, but that would come into play once the party loses and with the President focused on senate elections chances are that he would remain a formidable force..."
"Provided he can keep those who he blesses with good fortune...don't forget the lota culture in this country."
"Hussain Haqqani has been summoned..."
"Where does he come in?"
"Mansoor Ejaz is becoming an embarrassment and perhaps discussions on how to silence him would take place? Money or some other inducement shall we say and considering that Ejaz was referring to a letter that must have angered our army there is danger that the ISI may be listening on to any telephone call between Haqqani and the President..."
"Ah yes, and is it the letter why its full guns blazing against Imran Khan?"
"Indeed, and given its from both the major parties I would think there is some truth to the assertion."
"Imran denies it..."
"Maybe he doesn't even know!"
"That means Imran is damned if he admits it and damned if he doesn't."
"The way of our politics."
