The speeches of PPP leaders on Benazir Bhutto's first death anniversary were self-serving. They are not automatically entitled to her political legacy They would be judged on their own merit and on what they contribute for Pakistan in future. Their contribution of the last eleven months, especially with regard to the economy, is rather poor. They have also enslaved the nation with US drones freely invading our lands. The worst load shedding ever has also happened under their watch. All this is due to mismanagement and incompetence of the PPP ministers. Added factor, of course, is their rampant corruption. The policy of appeasement of India, USA, UK, allowing UNSC to ban JuD by telling China not to veto etc, are all the sort of acts that has drawn very strong reaction from political parties, defense services and the people at large. The previous election was fought and won on Benazir Bhutto's sympathy vote. Let the PPP now stop using the BB card and fight the next on its own merit. -KHAIR BUKSH, via e-mail, December 27.
