Imran slams Zardari, Bilawal over India visit

[Jade]

The sudden visit of President Asif Ali Zardari and his son Bilawal to India has attracted criticism from their political opponents in Pakistan, with cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan questioning the timing of the tour, as the country was still grappling with the tragedy of 135 soldiers missing in an avalanche in the Siachen glacier.

Hoping to ride to political power in Pakistan over the gathering anti-establishment fervour, Imran Khan trained his guns particularly on the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party's emerging leader Bilawal Bhutto, alleging that the 23-year-old leader didn't know the pulse of the people.

Taking a dig at Bilawal, who is considered a rising political star of the Bhutto family, Imran said the people "will not forgive leaders who have no respect for the nation and its institutions".

He alleged that Zardari and his son did not know "how to stand by State".

"Bilawal has no knowledge of the difficulties faced by the people of Pakistan and cannot even speak proper Urdu," said Khan.

Khan claimed that his party would elect its leadership from ordinary citizens instead of rewarding people simply because they were members of families that had enjoyed power for long.

In this regard, he named the Bhutto family that has led the PPP and the Sharifs, who lead the main opposition Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz.

Some media commentators have questioned Zardari's decision to go ahead with his private visit to India a day after an avalanche hit a battalion headquarters of the Pakistan Army in the Siachen sector.

Rescue teams have so far found no signs of survivors. The 135 people were suspected to be buried under up to 80 feet of snow when the avalanche slammed into the camp at Gyari.

Criticising the West, Khan said his party would part ways with the United States-led war on terrorism if it came to power.

He contended that the war had led to the death of countless Pashtuns and brought a lot of misery to Pakistan.

Negotiations should be held with the tribesmen of northwest Pakistan to resolve issues rather than engage in conflict, he said.

Imran Khan has a important question: What is Zardari doing in India, when 135 of his soldiers are missing in an avalanche

 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Imran Khan is simply playing petty politics now.

Let's not be unfair in criticism.

Was Zardari supposed to go to the site of the avalanche?

What was he supposed to do in those few hours he when he was not in Pakistan?

It's not like he came here on a 3-4 day visit.

Besides, the man was here on his own perivate visit? What's wrong with that?

 

[RazPaK]

IK has hit the nail on the head. This bastard ran to UK during the floods as well. He should have been here for his people, rather than running around to please others.

 

[rai_kamal]

Did imran go to the mountains and tried to saved them..??
This politician bhi na...

 

[DrSomnath999]

Now imran khan got another excuse to hammer ZARDARI"S fuzzy head .

 

[DRaisinHerald]

IK has hit the nail on the head. This bastard ran to UK during the floods as well.

To collect charity and donations for the people of Pakistan. He's not even in power, the hell can he do? I'm pretty sure Zardari can do lots (or could've done during the floods).

I thought of IMRAN as a man of great stature, and because of that I even voted for him in the TIMES 100 influential person but at the end he proves to be an a hole with his politics.
What can the president do in case of an avelance like that, at the best he would have raised the issue with MMS regarding demilitarizing the Siachin battle field for the safty of both the countries protectors (IA and PA) during his visit.

Secondly, tell the people what you have done to the army personal and their family, weather collecting funds to help the army rescue team, or extending moral support to the family of the army personal who are fight for their lives, instead commenting on your opponent is just cheap politics/

Are you serious?Would you say the same thing if Indian Soldiers were killed or there was a national tragedy in India and suddenly Manmohan Singh along with Sonia/Rahul decides to visit Pakistan (That too on a private visit) without any reason?The only aholes are the hypocritical Indians here who know that if Imran Khan comes to power then Pakistan will prosper hence they would love nothing more then Nawaz or Zardari in Power.

 

[RazPaK]

Just wow at the naivety of some people here. If something like this happened in the US it would have been the tragedy of the decade, and the president would have immediately addressed the people to come together.

While this rat loots the country and goes around donating money out of the country, people are starving and setting themselves on fire ect.

In American democracy, the President is ACTUALLY in a commanding position.

Cross your heart and tell me if you feel the same about Pakistani democracy and Zardari's role in it.

Besides, the PM of Pakistan was there anyways.

did you mis my post where i have quoted that i voted for IK in the 100 INFUENTIAL people listed in the Times voting, does that not mean that I wished for IK to be the next man in power for Pakistan, a economically sound, a clear pakistan is waht I and most other INDIANS wish for, more chaos in your country will some day result in your military asset falling in the wrong hand which is a bigger threat than any thing else for INDIA and Pakistan,

 

[SamranAli]

indians dnt know each zardari and imran so they better dnt talk. We know both and can evaluate

 

[RazPaK]

Lmao. When KSA sent supplies to flood victims, they told GoP that their own men would distribute the goods, because they knew Zardari and his gang would loot that too.

 

[mr42O]

Indians dont know back ground what Imran Khan is saying and why.

Zardari run away to his private visit in UK when floods was destroying Pakistan. When he come back i havnet seen him doing any thing.

Same is with Nawaz Sharif he run away to UK every time there is a crises.

No one could do any thing but as when in a family some dies you dont go to visit another city but you stand with ur family despite u cant do noting.

Imran Khan is 100% right since Zardari does not care and India should not deal with a President who is afraid to travel in PIA since ppl will lynch him. Recently a poll shows only 11% support Zardari. When we dont trust him how can India ?

India has to deal with whosoever is <figuratively> the head of Pakistan.

Although the actual head of Pakistan, as we all know, is General Kayani, in democracies like India and the US and the UK, you won't find an MMS or an Obama or a Cameron meeting a Kayani.

Gen. VK Singh might meet Kayani, even Antony and SM Krishna might meet Kayani but MMS, the PM, can never meet Kayani.
