Fatima tributes her Aunt Benazir
I often read Fatima Bhutto but didn’t take her seriously since most of her articles were about her Phuppo(aunt) Benazir. Fatima and her family always went against Mr and Mrs Zardari because they always considred Zardari responsible of killing Murtaza Bhutto. Her article Aunt Benazir’s false promise just reflect her anger against Zardari family.
Like others, I also saw those images in which she was crying on funeral of Benazir Bhutto. I was surprised. Maybe because I don’t know her or it was something unsual in Pakistani politics in which relationships are lesser important than Power that’s why Mumtaz Bhutto didn’t attend Ms.Bhutto’s funeral cermony OR Fatima belongs to generation which might want to getrid of old political tactics and prefer to keep relationship with humanity which doesn’t exist in Pakistani politics anymore.
Fatima’s latest tribute to her Aunt reflects another side of Fatima. She shares her personal memories with her late Aunt, her Wadi Buwa- I am quoting few lines which impressed me about her thoughts. I can just hope if every politician start thinking like her about his/her oponent? From Farewell to Wadi Bua :
I never agreed with her politics. I never did. I never agreed with those she kept around her, the political opportunists, hanger-ons, them. They repulse me.
I never agreed with her version of events. Never. But in death, in death perhaps there is a moment to call for calm. To say, enough. We have had enough. We cannot, and we will not, take anymore madness.

What is the probability that Mumtaz Bhutto did not attend the funeral due to security reasons? and what is the possibility that Benazir Bhutto did not attend the funeral of Mumtaz’s Bhutto’s father who was the eldest leader in the bhutto family?
Please do reconsider your statement

To Bhutto Clan: What goes around comes around.

Dilawar Sahab, reconsider but why? security reasons is a lame excuse. Not sure but as far as I remember, there is some typical family conflict which is reason of dispute between both Bhuttos.

Mumtaz Bhutto was not present at the funeral but he and his family condoled with Ghinwa Bhutto.. instead of going to zardari house in Naudero he went to ancestral Bhutto house in almurtaza and later went to her grave to offer fateha
