Benazir is being eulogised in the foreign and local media as the champion of democracy despite the fact that she failed miserably two times when she became the Prime Minister of the Country. Her governments were dismissed on the charges of gross corruption and extra judicial killings of political opponents. The champion of democracy has bequeathed the party leadership to his huband who was dubbed by the Pakistani press as Mr. 10 per cent when Benazir was in power. He was known to get 10 per cent in every government cotract and large business deals. It was unfortunate that he has become the co-chairman of the party. Has Benazir being a democrat her successor would have been chosen democratically. There were other qualified and deserving people in the party such as Makhdoom Amin Fahim and Aitezaz Ahsan.
