The Bhutto family, feeling sidelined by the emergence of Asif Ali Zardari as the main power player after Benazir Bhutto's death, is now bringing together many old Pakistan People's Party (PPP) stalwarts to regain the Bhutto legacy, said a news report. Family sources say the stage is being set for the emergence of the PPP with the young Bhuttos spearheading a drive against the Zardaris. In this regard, Sassi, daughter of Shahnawaz Bhutto, is going to lead a rally to Bhit Shah, the shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, only a few kilometers from Makhdoom Amin Fahim's hometown of Hala, the report carried by the leading English language daily The News said. Sassi would reach Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto on Sunday to pay homage to the four great Bhuttos – Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Murtaza Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and, of course, Shahnawaz Bhutto. She is on a mission in Pakistan – to get the politics, wealth, and property's possession back from the Zardaris. Fatima, daughter of Murtaza, has taken the initiative to bring Sassi back and she had herself traveled to London for the purpose to unite the real Bhuttos. The decision was finalised at a meeting of the elders of the Bhuttos along with party leaders and workers at 70-Clifton, Karachi, while the portraits of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Murtaza and Shahnawaz had also been displayed at the main gate of the building. The entourage would leave Karachi for Bhit Shah. The arrangements for a welcome at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh have also been finalized as the visitors would arrive in Larkana by road from Karachi. The real Bhuttos have a feeling that their ancestors and party loyalists have rendered sacrifices while the Zardari family has swept away the fruits. The family thinks that the Zardaris have hijacked the party, property and the love of party workers, which were all assets of the Bhutto family. They also claim that Begum Nusrat Bhutto has been made a hostage. On the other hand, the PPP-Shaheed Bhutto of Ghinwa and the Sindh National Front (SNF) have agreed to a merger while Amin Fahim, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Dr Ghulam Hussain and other senior leaders have assured Mumtaz Ali Bhutto of their total support. A SNF spokesperson confirmed the developments. “All the issues were discussed in detail at a meeting while the senior PPP leaders assured their full support to the Bhutto family. They were of the view that the time was ripe for a practical move against the Zardaris. It was also decided that all the sidelined and disgraced leaders of the party, including Nahid Khan, Dr. Safdar Abbasi and Ghulam Mustafa Khar, would also be brought back into the fold.” __
