Bilawal apologises to party workers for unexplained mistakes

Habib Khan Ghori Published September 29, 2014

KARACHI: For unexplained reasons, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari apologised to his party’s estranged workers on Sunday and appealed to them to reconsider their decision to join other parties.

He said that being a democratic party the PPP welcomed differences of opinion, adding that the best way for workers was to attend party meetings and strive for bringing about changes they wanted and put the country on the road to progress and prosperity.

In an open letter to supporters, Bilawal Bhutto conceded that mistakes had been committed in the past and pledged to correct them to regain workers’ trust.

But he did not spell out what mistakes the party had made which called for an apology or the differences of opinion expressed by some workers.

“To those who have been with the PPP but now feel let down, first of all allow me to apologise personally for letting you down. We do not claim to be perfect; we acknowledge that mistakes have been made in the past and are committed to rectifying them and regaining your trust.

“In the interim period, if you are considering to switch over to another political party, please act discreetly. Do not punish Pakistan or its democracy for my shortcomings. Please do not support undemocratic party or a party appeasing extremists. Pakistan has rightwing parties which support dictatorship and appease the TTP. If you are frustrated with the party, I would suggest to you ways to legitimately practise opposition politics.

“The PPP is a democratic party and welcomes internal dissent. The best way to influence the PPP’s policy is to join us and bring about changes in the party and in the country from within. If party policy is unacceptable to you and you are considering to join another party, I would suggest you to join pro-democracy and pro-people political parties.

“The PPP welcomes and encourages other leftwing parties to join the political process. In fact, if a former sympathiser desires to attend a political event, I would suggest to him to attend the AWP Congress in Islamabad.

“No-one can claim to have once supported Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto or Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto but can now support dictatorship or extremism. I look forward to regaining your trust and also proving that the PPP is the only party that can build a peaceful, prosperous and progressive Pakistan. Jeay Bhutto, Pakistan Zindabad.”

Should you not have election in your party for the position of chairman? Yours is not a democratic party; it is family business.

And Bhutto ( even tho brilliant ) but still played a major role in splitting Pakistan. And now this ---- PPP wants another chance --- what is it ? --- 4 th or 5 th chance ? What makes him think that people will fall for it again and again. Zardari had done a great job in sidelining Bhuttos loyals and we are left with people like Gillani. As of now--- I think PPP is restricted to Sindh only --- ( done in Punjab ) What did Zardari say --- IK is immature politician--- what does he think about his son ? Even gave HIS son , Bhuttos name-- is there anything we need to know? What do people do for power and money.

When the list of mistakes is too long to enumerate, it is smart to leave it unexplained. Mr. Bilawal... when will you apologize to jobless youth of Sindh, particularly the ones NOT from Karachi? Young people from Karachi do successfully get their hands on well paying private jobs, because of the size of the economy they have access to. But what about people from the rest of the province. The educated young people, with no political connections, from Sindh have firm belief, that they will not get a respectful government jobs, as long as your party is governing the province of Sindh.

Don't forget he was also the one who first supported the regressive religious elements in Afghanistan. They later mutated into the Taliban that Bilawal's mommy recognized as a legitimate government.

PPP has caused harm to the country consistently, This party was raised to look after the interest of the poor people, solve their problems, ensure fundamental rights and particularly providing them justice at their door steps. After coming into power they deceived the people, ignored their problems, indulged in massive corruption scandals, each one of them amassed money in and out side the country, justice is no where to be seen. They did not provide local govt system to the people deliberately to complicate the poor's problems and funnel the money in their accounts. Briefly this party of waderas do not believe in democracy, all they need now is ruthless accountability to vindicate criminal negligence of their basic duties, breach of trust entrusted to them by the people of Pakistan for last about forty years and indulging in loot and plunder of the national wealth and money

There is obviously something big brewing up within PPP that we don't know about. May I tell Bilawal that PPP will not be alone in worrying about its people leaving the party. The people of Pakistan have stood up to the corrupt elite who looted this country and its people since independence. Unfortunately, it's too late now to simply apologise but not talk about the billions of dollars that are stashed away. If you guys are serious about apologising then then come clean about the mega corruption that your parents have been involved in, hold fair elections in your party, and give the leadership of the party to those senior politicians that you are afraid of leaving you. I can only feel sorry for you as you were dreaming about your turn after uncle Nawaz's turn but these turns are over now. If you are worried about democracy then please don't lose your sleep over it as the true democracy is already taking hold in this country now and the next elections, whenever those are held, will be extremely fair and it will bring the true representatives of the people of this country.

@Rafay "Is it that not a single PPP supporter has read this article, and wanted to comment"??? PPP has to learn from PML-N Marvi Memon and Mariam Nawaz cyber team, who jump in and counter media news which is against them.

PPP is nothing but a regional party, rather nationalist party. They can never be able to take back the lost seats and power they enjoyed in Punjab, KP and Balochistan. They can not even claim to have any hold over rural areas. They simply enjoy majority in sindh assembly on the basis of maximum seats sealed by the shahs, pirs and their friends and friends friends. They will continue to get majority in sindh assembly and will be restricted to this province. Better Bilawal forget becoming the prime minister or president

Who is Bilawal? Zardari or Bhotto? Please let the party decide that first. Secondly what is the credibility of this so called National party if it can only run by Blood lines or under the slogans of Bhutto name? in 3 decades, PPP failed to produce ONE true leader within its party? could not find any leader to lead the party out of his experience in politics? We as Nation, denounce and reject the slavery of generations of politicians! This is not 70s or 80s anymore... we don't want Bilawals and Hamzas badshahat anymore.. Enough of this slavery! We want democracy For the People and By the people...

Modern Communication: Team-work, participation, social-networking, etc. etc. I learned it at a big university in Germany; Mr. Bilwal did it in the UK. So far so good. It can be a blessing (and a rough ride for the very young Bilwal), if he is seriously thinking to put it in practice. He has an up-hill struggle against Vaderas in his party and a general submissive mind set-up in our semi-fudal society. Gran Pa (Bhutto) was a rolling stone. He started with a thunder and got derailed. Be careful and have a good luck.

PPP has no future in Pakistani politics. The people of Pakistan know they just come to fill Swiss accounts. They have done nothing in terms of improving education, halthcare and road networks for Pakistan specially Sindh. Even in Larkana conditions are worst ever and people are dying of stomach disorders. No more vote in name of being Bhutto or whatever.

PPP and PML-N are not different. Both are rich and family dynesty. They have delivered nothing in the past so many years to the people of Pakistan. Majority of their politicians are useless and corrupt. They don't even believe in Municipal level elections because they don't want to give power and budget to the ordinary people of Pakistan. They are worst than dictators. It's time to bring someone new.

Yes, the PPP is a very democratic party. The elections take place within the Bhutto-Zardari household. The manifesto is enriching the Bhutto-Zardari family and their cronies(including the PMLN) while the vast majority of the people in Sindh live in abject poverty.
