Benazir Portrait in Place of Quaid-e-Azam

By Rohail Butt • Jul 6th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 18 Comments

As if really Zardari cared for it, the staff of the President House put the photos and portraits of Benazir Bhutto at every imaginable places in the President House just to appease the diehard workers of the PPP. As at every occassion in the presidency, the cameras doesn’t fail to relay the pictures of Benazir Bhutto popping out from every wall and at every mounted place.

The funny thing is that Quaid-e-Azam’s portraits have also been replaced by the widow of Zardari in the Prime Minister House, and PM has noticed it just now. A private TV channel reported last week that portraits of the Founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah had been removed from the Presidency and Prime Minister House.

As soon as the news broke out, Presidency spokesperson and Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Qamar Zaman Kaira called it  “false, mischievous, unethical and highly unbecoming of any professional media outlet and professional journalists.” Now it is heard that the Quaid portraits are back and now PPP workers have nothing to celebrate any achievement of thier party head.

  1. maybe mr. zardari wants his late wife to be the mother of the nation and that would make him father of the nation !!!!

  2. Ibrahim, Shaheed BB is the mother of the nation to a large part of the population

  3. Hassan Amin,
    Different parts of population cannot choose different mothers of the nation. A mother has to be one for the whole nation and in our case, it is Madar-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, sister of our founder, Quaid-e-Azan Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

    BULL’S EYE !

    a very good response,

    but beware !

    now we may come to hear that the Father of nation is altaf hussain, and the mother is BB

    it will seem strange to have imported Parents of nation !

  5. Altaf Hussain may be called as the Father of a Movement. You cannot choose your father and so can’t the nation. People and nations are born of fathers and not vice versa.
    BB has very rightly been named as the Daughter of the East.
    We have instances of imported prime ministers but never heard of imported parents.

  6. Zardari has no love lost with BB. He is just trying to cash in on with her picture.

  7. Our National Leaders in chronological order
    :
    Quaid-e-Azam M. A. Jinnah - Father of the nation

    Maader-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah

    Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto

    Shaheed-e-Jamhoriat, Dukhtae-e-Millat, Daughter of the East, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto

    Quaid-e-Tehrik Altaf Hussain (Our greatest national leader presently)

  8. Nelson Mandela of Pakistan (as termed by Shaheed BB herself and acknowledged by other national great leaders of our time): President Asif Ali Zardari !

  9. Mr. Arias, learn to behave

  10. Our National Leaders in chronological order
    :
    Quaid-e-Azam M. A. Jinnah - Father of the nation

    Maader-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah

  11. Khuda Ganje Ko Nakhun Na De….!

  12. look who you are qouting !………. Benazir Bhutto

    BB . the partner in crime with zardari

    had Nelson mendela said this, it would have had credibility, but BB?

    BB ka bass chalta tou nelson mendela ki bajaye woh to zardai ko Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) say compare kerti

  13. Benazir portrait is in quaid’s place as it is zardari’s vision.Zardari is president of Pakistan due to shortsightedness of benazir who as an educated and liberal lady selected the worst life partner.When leader makes deadly mistakes, it is nation and his/her followers who suffer actaully and that is what we are facing in the form of his presence in State house.
    Quaid has no role in zardari’s life , I am sure he is unaware of DOB and DOD of our Quaid or even would be unaware of his real name. so he has no interest on his photo.its only Benazir who gave colors and unlimited wealth to his failed life so he is doing as per his mental ability nothing to be shocked or surprised from the acts of such low caliber high profile personality.

  14. I wont say anything regarding Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (I believe he was intellectual in his own right) and Benazir Bhutto who was a revered leader (though some question credibility) but the legacy left to Mr. Zardari and in turn to Mr. Bilawal (even names were modified to fit in), I believe it will turn into a great loss for PPP and disaster for Pakistan.

  15. To begin with - The pictures showed is just one part of the lobby of the Presidency. Obviously it has been taken in the family section of the Presidency and the pictures on the wall are of the Bhutto-Zardari family. Stupid of someone to let these guys be photographed in the family section. However, everyone who has ever been in power in Pakistan has their picture up, inclusive of Zia and Musharraf. The Quaid’s pictures are very much present in the Presidency, as evident from pictures of Karzai’s visit. Can we please get a grip and quit the self-righteous patriotism - hell, can we get a grip and stop attacking leaders that have become shaheed for this nation and who are currently working desperately to keep it running?! Bloody ungrateful!

  16. No.13 ARIAS, its good to be the right one but don’t try to cross the limits. So use appropriate words within limits and just chill!

  17. well to mr,anonymous
    if u ever turn on the television u will c that zardari puts up BBs photos everywhere n instead ov the big portrait of Quaid wich existed when MUSHARRAF delivers his speeches is now replaced by BB
    luk wut wud have BB done if Quaid didnt built this nation
    where wud v be if Quaid didnt built this nation
    atleast if v cant follow his steps we shud try to b this much honest wid him that v remember him n still sum of us want to be like him
    n trust me now no one wants PPP to stay and yeah so true is democracy is being very painful for all of us
    BB has died now we just cant let zardari n bilawal enslave us for her sake atleast
    EVERY LIFE COUNTS NO MATTER HOW INSIGNIFICANT IT IS …………………….
    we are living an end for Pakistan ………… try to change the perspect of future ………..
