Nepotism, corruption and abuse of power are being exposed in Pakistani politics says Rahimullah Yusufzai, as he looks at the increasing number of court cases facing scions of the establishment.
- A DESERVING DYNASTY?: The Bhutto clan's domination of Pakistan politics is based on family ties rather than merit
Pakistan's National Assembly on June 22 elected a new prime minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, in place of Yusuf Raza Gilani, who lost his job after being disqualified by the Supreme Court for defying court orders to pursue old corruption charges against President Asif Ali Zardari.
All three belong to the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP), founded by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in the late 1960s and now the country's biggest political party.
Gilani had refused to write a letter as directed by the Supreme Court to reopen money-laundering cases of $60 million against President Zardari in the Swiss courts. The money has been kept in Swiss banks and was allegedly stolen in Pakistan on account of kickbacks and commissions during the rule of Zardari's late wife, Benazir Bhutto. The removal of Prime Minister Gilani, who served for more than four years in this job, has been described as a judicial coup, but the Supreme Court insisted it waited for two and a half years for the PPP-led coalition government to implement its orders.
