Benizar Bhutto is a major player in today's politics representing the Pakistani Peoples Party. In 1988, she became prime minister of Pakistan and promised more rights for women and a socialistic form of government. She served until 1990. She was unable to overcome the conservative forces inparliament, however.
She follows trends recent in America, Bush being the second in office, as her grandfather served as Pakistani prime minister and president in the 1970's. Her mother was also involved in the peoples party.
She won re-election in 1993 and served till 1996, when she was again dismissed from the government on allegations of corruption from her husband, Ali Asif Zardari
Recently she has been contacting the Musharraf government to clear her name. We
will see if the lady, now 52 will become involved in politics again and what role her husband will play, aseveryone's eyes are on Hillary Clinton, watching to see how the power couple interact in her bid for presidential election.
Behemoth...I now have a new schedule. Writing. Each day, a new task dawns: short stories, scholarships, novel writing, looking for online jobs, poetry, and forums. This is my story and I'm sticking to it, like Bhutto sticks to her claim that her husband is innocent. In her case, I would recommend, her husband pull his shenanigans out of her politics.
