PPP was and is a feudal and undemocratic party and that became very much clear to me when Asif Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was chosen as their Co Chairman after the death of Benazir Bhutto. Since then, we all know what has happened to people like Amin Faheem and Aitzaz Ahsan, the once public face of the party.

Today Abdul Qayum Jatoi has publicly accused the party leadership of lack of focus and running the party like a family domain. Hina Rabbani Khar was appointed as minister while the die hard loyalist of PPP was ignored, just because of some newly created family connections. I am sure that with this pace, the party will be gone in few years and Asif Zardari will be back in his New York apartment or will go on weekends to Surrey Palace while we will be left at the mercy of terrorists and American and Indian forces.

ISLAMABAD: A diehard loyalist, sitting PPP MNA Abdul Qayum Jatoi, who had dramatically turned district Muzaffargarh into a “mini-Larkana” because of his electoral success, has got so disgusted with the Pakistani politics and probably his own leadership that he has announced to quit politics, move to London and to work for human rights movements.
The shocking decision of Jatoi has come at a time when Asif Ali Zardari is busy raising slogans of “political reconciliation” and does not know that his party MNAs are getting disillusioned with politics.
The thing, which may surprise many people, is that the same MNA, who had defied the Pervaiz Elahi rule during his five years as the district Nazim Muzaffargarh despite serious victimisation, has so quickly got disillusioned with his own government and plans to leave the country.
After Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Qayum was one of the few PPP Nazims in the Punjab who had formed the district governments after the elections in 2002 and did not give up his resistance despite many efforts of the agencies and the government to make him switch sides and join the PML-Q bandwagon.
When contacted by The News, Qayum Jatoi said: “Yes, this is true that I am disappointed with the Pakistani politics and have decided to move to London and join human rights movements there.” (Source: The News)
