Did Aitzaz challenge AAZ?

31 Dec, 2011

A lot of people would agree that Asif Ali Zardari made a mistake asking Aitzaz Ahsan to speak especially after he abruptly ended his controversial address at Naudero. Taking advantage of the occasion Aitzaz knowingly or unknowingly attacked AAZ on two counts in his lawyerly style of oratory flow. He isolated AAZ from the mission, which BB took when she left Abu Dhabi and then dampened AAZ's claim of completing 80 percent of PPP's agenda. How?
He started his speech by giving the example of Imam Hussain (RA) that when the Imam was leaving Madinah on his mission to Karbala people around him advised him against it. But the Imam was adamant to complete his mission. In the middle of his speech, Aitzaz said when BB decided to leave Abu Dhabi for Karachi on her mission, Asif Ali Zardari advised her against it. Linking the two incidents Aitezaz cleverly isolated AAZ from the mission of BB.
Then, at the end of his speech, he advised AAZ to work on the 'Falahi' (social) work of PPP meaning that AAZ was wrong when he announced earlier that he had completed 80 percent of PPP's agenda. Everybody knows PPP's agenda was 'Falahi' (social) in nature renewing the old motto of 'Roti, Kapra aur Makan'. If Aitzaz deliberately brought these two points in his emotionally charged and cleverly crafted speech, then he can become a bigger challenge for AAZ staying in the PPP than leaving it and joining PTI.
