People in the capital city of Bangladesh have put interesting construction on the news published in Tuesday newspapers saying that Mohtrama Benazir's would be kept in Pakistan's national museums. The people here were wondering if she had really nominated Bilawal, her son, to succeed her as the Chairperson of the Pakistan People's Party.
It is followed by another question whether it was proper for Benazir Bhutto to name her son as her successor in a political party. 'The Mohtrama would be within her right to pass on personal property to whosoever she might fancy. But was it in order to name successors to a national political machine? PPP, a political organisation, would certainly not qualify as her personal or private property, and hence she couldn't name her son to succeed her as the Chairperson.
According to Ataus Samad, a senior journalist, people of this country also take great interest in discussing the politics of Pakistan far more than they do in case of India, a senior journalist said to this scribe Monday night. 'We are interested in cricket and entertainment news from India, but politics in Pakistan interested us much more probably, because 'we were once 'half brothers.'
His statement is corroborated from the extensive coverage given to Benazir's return and her subsequent assassination. A story published in 'Jujgantar' - a widely circulated morning newspaper - has asked the question in a four column story, who is responsible for her assassination? The author Mohammad Ismail Husain answers the question by stating it is the government.
