This fetishization of Zardari needs to stop.
He has more to gain from the current situation than N, sure. But it is still a net loss for them.
If you had said this 9-10 months back, then this statement would have rung true. Zardari convinced everyone not to go for elections, smelling blood of N and unpopularity of IK. He had the estab's support as well for the next election cycle (us waqt estab Billo ko PM dekhti thi).
Now, all of them are net losers. PPP's plans didn't materialize for entry into Punjab, most they have done is marginal improvement in Sindh, and get the usual estab backed candidates and sardars on their side in Balochistan (although that was expected). Punjab main in ko kakh vi nhn milyea.
But still, even if PPP's own plans didn't materialize, they are still going to take PML down. This ain't some cunning Zardari plan.
Yeh bhari tab bhi tha jab Punjab assembly upar neechay kar raha tha. Kia hua akhar main? Yeh bhari tab bhi tha jab Pervez Elahi ko apni taraf kar raha tha, kia hua? Jab yeh Ch Shujaat kay sath sofay par beth kar kar massage lay raha tha, tab bhi pipliay Twitter par lagay huay thay Zardari sab par bhari. Kia hua? Kakh vi nhn. Baat ab Zardari's and Sharif's kay hath say agay nikal gayi hai.
