Chances of united democratic alliance against Musharraf are remote
Till date there hasn’t been any election in Pakistan without
rigging, says Smruti S. Pattanaik, Research Fellow, IDSA. If this is a fact, then one more truth, which emerges from the current turmoil in Pakistan is that “never before in history of Pakistan, it’s civil society was so keen for elections,” Prof. Uma Singh, Centre for South Asian Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, told B&E.
And Benazir Bhutto’s brutal assassination was perhaps the beginning of the rigging. It disturbed, as Saeed Naqvi, Editor, World Report, a syndication service on foreign affairs, said, “the arrangement in which Pervez Musharraf was to be president; Kayani, Army chief, and Benazir, PM, was fixed by the US.” Uma Singh said, “Only after the US gave the green signal, did Benazir returned to Pakistan & she never was critical of the US.” But Benazir’s death has made her Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians, like a ship without a captain.
Asif Zardari, Benazir’s husband, Co-chairman of the party, is not very popular, opposed by some PPPP leaders; and her only son, Bilawal, hasn’t finished his formal education. In such a situation, Asif Ali Zardari has designated Makhdoom Amin Fahim, Vice-Chairman of PPPP as Prime Ministerial candidate. “Fahim has run the PPPP in Pakistan during Benazir’s absence and didn’t show political ambitions,” Pattanaik told B&E. The elections have been postponed to February 18 for various reasons. Naqvi feels that PPPP & Nawaz Sharif’s party, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) might come together for the election. But, PPPP, with Nawaz Sharif, won’t be compatible to the US. And, for that matter, neither to Musharraf.
