Families hogging the limelight through politics is nothing new. The kennedy family can be cited, the Nehru family and now the Bhutto family.
Asif Zardari known for shuttling between jails in Pakistan for a long time for corruption has now vaulted himself to the top post in Pakistan.
It is quite apparent that Pakistani politics have sunk to an all-time low.
Instability rules the country. Democracy has struck weak roots in Pakistan. Army rule is the commonest sought-after regime.
Wherein lies the future of the country? Bilawal Bhutto a novice in politics has been named 'heir-apparent' to the throne. Politicians, even if their lives are at risk are eager to grab at the spoils of their profession. Asif Zardari's only plus point is that he is the husband of the slain leader Benazir Bhutto. He is the President of Pakistan now. How long will he last? What will his tenure be like, as President? These are the questions which haunt us as we digest the latest bit of news on Pakistan.
