India-Pakistan
Father, son, legacy

[DAWN] BILAWAL Bhutto-Zardari has just been seen trying another, natural route for landing in Punjab. A few days ago, he was found in Rahim Yar Khan, reassuring the inhabitants there that since they had BB’s son amongst them, they ought not to despair as yet. As to whether the trip provided the young PPP leader any cause to be upbeat about his Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

expedition, there was little on the horizon to indicate any sudden change of fortunes.

This is, ultimately, just too routine to create any excitement. Actually it has long since become a joke. Every few weeks there is a clamour from within what remains of the PPP in Punjab. Then there is talk, inevitably, about how BBZ planned to come to Lahore for a longish period and how he was destined to reinvigorate the party.

So bored are even the most tolerant in the crowd by this -- lack of -- promise that some of them might have actually been a little relieved to find out that there has been a change in plans -- BBZ now seeks to undertake the exploration of the territory from the southern end, approaching Punjab from Sindh where his party is in power. Not just this, his party has some presence in Rahim Yar Khan (RYK), as shown by the 2013 general election and reconfirmed by the more recent local government polls.
