Pakistan People’s Party has selected the candidate for the post of prime minister. A PPP leader Nabeel Gabol disclosed this. Although PPP has not disclosed the name of the person, but Times of India reported that PPP’s Yousuf Raza Gilani could be the country’s name prime minister.

Voice of America’s Steve Herman reports that the selection of the nominee has caused a rift in the party. Now there are growing signs of an internal crisis in the party. It is said that Zardari has called his teenaged on to avert any rift within the ruling party.

I think that party’s teenaged chairperson will not be able to avert crisis. Media reports say that Makhdoom Amin Fahim, the party’s vice-chairman whom Zardari has sidelined could create problems for Zardari. Fahim said that Zardari is procrastinating to name the prime minister.

Asif Ali Zardari claims that his party won despite massive election rigging effort by the pro-Musharraf allies. He writes in his article published in the Chicago Tribune:

"Despite massive pre-election and election-day rigging, the people of Pakistan voted their confidence in democracy and rejected the forces of dictatorship."

He asserts that people of Pakistan rejected the forces of dictatorship because they want democracy in Pakistan.
Mr. Zardari is making a wrong claim that people of Pakistan voted their candidates because they love democracy. People voted their candidates because of their ethnic and tribal affiliations. Their ethnic and tribal affiliations clouded their judgment and they voted for PPP and PML-N whom they have tried twice.

As far fakes votes are concerned they are cast by every party in their strong holds in Pakistan.

The PPP itself is to blame for this confusion. The position would have been very clear if an autopsy was done. I wonder why the PPP did not allow the autopsy keeping in view that now they are raising so much hue and cry over the cause of death. But despite all this the fact remains that an attack was made on his life as consequence of which she died.

I think that the PPP refused the autopsy request of the government in order to gain political advantage out of the confusion created. In my opinion the government should exhume her body and carry out an autopsy under a team of foreign experts.
