PPPP leaders and workers bewildered by Asif Zardari's comments

Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) leaders and workers alike are distraught over their leader Asif Ali Zardari's decision to toe the line of the establishment despite arrests and harassment of party leaders and workers on his arrival. Zardari's views about rapprochement with the military establishment have surprised party workers more than their parliamentarians. Though they did not criticise the comments of their leader, they were also not ready to adopt Zardari's point of view. In his Sunday's press conference, Zardari stated that the army was a permanent reality in the country and his party would value the opinion of the institution and take it along with them. Zardari sent a clear message to the establishment that the PPP was ready for talks, hence accepting the institution from which the present rulers derived their strength. The PPPP workers arranged a great welcoming reception for the spouse of Benazir Bhutto in response to which the government launched a manhunt to prevent the procession from reaching the airport.
