It came as no surprise when Bilawal Bhutto was named 'heir- apparent' to the PPP in Pakistan. Dynastic politics largely prevails in the sub-continent.
But to punch the whole issue, now Asif Ali Zardari, husband of slain leader Benazir Bhutto has now announced his candidacy for the presidential race in Pakistan. This turn of events has a humerous tinge. One marvels at politicians' skull-and -duggery tactics. It only shows the low depths to which Pakistani politics has sunk. The swathe of corruption charges that has surrounded him ever since his link-up with Madame Bhutto, not- withstanding and the label of Mr.10 percent has earned by his actions, long stints in jail for corruption well-known; a person like him now seeking to become President of the country. One can only laugh hollowly by this news.
Pakistan has no great leaders to speak of. It's institutions are crumbling.
