Why is Mr. Zardari so eager to build ties with India at the expense of Pakistan? These are my sentiments in response to last week’s op-ed in Pakistani newspapers written by Mr. Asif Ali Zardari to commemorate Ms. Benazir Bhutto’s birthday. I am a young Pakistani woman residing in Canada. And, needless to say, I am not impressed.

OTTAWA, Canada—In this time of recession, when the people aren’t getting the rightful price of their property, there is only one commodity cheaper than anything else and ready to be sold out: Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
He is shamelessly confessing (in his article published on 20 June 2009 in daily Jang newspaper) that the events of 9/11, the attacks on Indian Parliament and Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Hotel were somehow linked to Pakistan. The fact that even the Indians couldn’t come up with evidence to their allegations [they are battling with multiple separatist and freedom-fighting groups inside India] exposes Mr. Zardari’s slave mindset and how he is beholden to his masters.
The op-ed piece was supposed be about Benazir Bhutto. But Mr. President turned it into an attack on ‘radicals and extremists’ and on dictatorship, forgetting that he came to power thanks to the actions of one such dictatorship.
There are only two possibilities if we analyze this shameless confession; either his intellect is very poor or he is sold out to those who were behind those attacks. But an intelligent guess is: He is sold out and because of his poor intellect, he is unable to grasp the reality: He is President of Pakistan because of that ‘dictatorship’ and Pakistanis won’t his newfound love for democracy, especially one grew in the lap of dictatorship.
He is more eager to build a strong relationship between India and Pakistan then between him and people of Pakistan. He is forgetting that it is India who has failed to maintain the neighborly relationship not even with Pakistan but also its other neighbors like China, Nepal and Srilanka.
There is still time for Mr. Zardari to review his thoughts and stop acting like a prostitute. Otherwise he would be long gone leaving behind another name in the list of traitors of Pakistan. Pakistan is a sovereign country; the blood that runs in this nation’s veins is that of noble founders and faithful people. This sovereign country will soon rise. The people of Pakistan are eager to stand together to sing their national anthem. Mr. Zardari needs to make his place among such people, his own countrymen and not bet on foreign help.
