    I dont understand one thing that if PPP is after name, as they have shown and proved after Benazir’s death, their sudden appointment of Bilawal Zardari as PPP chariman was shock for all world. Then why dont they go for Fatima. Who is real of Bhutto while Bilawal is real blood of Hakim Ali Zardari. Changing his surname will not make him Bhutto. He is son of Zardari and will remain son of Zardari while Fatima is daughter of Bhutto family and will remain daughter of Bhutto family.

    I am fan of Fatima. She seems to be ambitious, polite, hardworking, focused, skilled, devoted and committed person. She has already proved to us that she has many skills to be PPP chairperson. She is already in politics. while Bilawal needs to spend years in Oxford to learn what politics is. She is mature lady and have very pleasant personality. While Bilawal is a still school boy.

    Pakistan recent judiciary crisis made Pakistan more interesting in world news. Therefore people throughout the world focused on every event in Pakistan. When Bilawal was appointed as PPP chairman, people from other countries were laughing on us that what sort of a country it is. where 19 year guy is appointed as chairman of the biggest political party of the country. Surely Bilawal’s appointment made people laugh on us and our system of political monarchy……..thanks to Asif Zardari and thanks to fake will of Benazir…..

    I want to appeal workers of PPP to support Fatima Bhutto. leave these corrupt family of Zardaris on side and come and join us to support Fatima Bhutto. Fatima’s family has already suffered many times …..this is the right time for us to support her.

    Let the emotionsof Benazir’s death subside and people and PPP worker will realise and InshAllah everyone will come to Fatima Bhutto.

    GOOD LUCK FATIMA…………..
    Fight for your right …..You are one the one who need to be the chairperson of PPP…we are with you.

    I, too, am a fan of Fatima Bhutto and has named my daughter on her name. I 100% agree to your comments about Fatima Bhutto, but I think, opposing Zardari at this time is like inviting the opposition party of Nawaz Sharif to rule Pakistan, and we have not forgotten his (Nawaz Sharif) Fachist rule in the ninties. So what we need to do is to encourage Fatima Bhutto to continue his mission and support her cause. She has a lot of time in front of her to come on the national level. If PPP leadership is given to some body else other than Zardari, it would not benefit Fatima Bhutto, but rather split PPP in several factions.
