A disgruntled leader of the Pakistain Peoples Party has said there were 'serious differences' between party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and his father, former president and PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari, over the 'poor' performance of the Sindh government ' a claim rejected by the party.'All those sycophants who are denying the differences between the father and the son are telling a lie but I confirm such differences between the two with a big yes,' claimed Dr Zulfikar Mirza ' a former provincial home minister and once a close aide to Mr Zardari ' while talking to a group of journalists in Golarchi town at his farmhouse in Mourjhar late Monday evening.
Dr Mirza said Mr Bhutto-Zardari was 'extremely unhappy and dissatisfied' with the performance of the Sindh government and its 'inept, corrupt and incompetent ministers' whom, he alleged, had deviated from the mission envisaged by the slain party leader Benazir Bhutto
... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in...

Firing a broadside at provincial ministers, an angry Dr Mirza said, they were 'involved in selling jobs by grabbing hefty amounts even from committed party activists'.
'Bilawal wanted to run party affairs like his mother, but he found himself stymied by vested interests,' he added.
He said his 'forthrightness' had brought a slew of issues for him.
Dr Mirza said he might take his own way before the next general elections to serve the downtrodden and deprived people of Sindh if his reservations were not addressed by the party leadership.
He said the party had totally been hijacked by 'corrupt and opportunistic people who lacked the vision of the founding fathers and deaders of the party'.
He blamed Dr Babar Awan and Senator Rehman Malik
Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship.
for briefing Mr Zardari 'incorrectly and misguiding' him regarding the facts associated with the liquidation of Benazir Bhutto.
He demanded that both leaders were included in the investigation of the former prime minister's liquidation.
'Holding responsible only a terrorist group for liquidation of Benazir Bhutto is not enough,' Dr Mirza added. 'Her blood has been terribly compromised for petty interests of the corrupt and inept people.'
