The Bhutto Dynasty revealed - Owen Benett-Jones -

Owen Benett-Jones comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss his latest book, The Bhutto Dynasty: Struggle for Power in Pakistan.
On this episode I ask point blank to Owen questions that have plagued the Bhutto legacy for years.
Did the US kill Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto?
Did Zardari kill Benazir?
Who covered up Benazir's assassination?

[@izzah310]

i like that you challenge the narrative as well instead of just agreeing with what the other person says. v interesting video

[@MB-xn2xq]

Watch this video from 10:30 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/baW7iWqZlrNlqrc Tbh, Benazir’s politics seems pretty similar to most Pakistani politicians. I feel a lot of you watch her with rose-tinted glasses today, but she has also used the Islam and Kashmir card for her domestic politics when needed. Governance pe kisika kuch focus hi nahi hai?

[@xMoomin]

she was a musalli under all that so yahh

Shahzad asks pointed and well articulated questions. Owen Bennett Jones seemed disinterested and mildly supercilious. It is good that British journalists of similar ilk are fast disappearing.

How does a PM stand up to an army? Difficult but not impossible. Nehru did it.

[@fretted4life]

Nehru didn't stand upto the Indian Army, he removed overarching presence of the military in govt, put the chiefs of service lower down the pecking order in protocol vis-a-vis ministers, moved into Teen Murti Bhavan(the then residence of Army Chief). The Congress govt. had a plan of action and mitigation measures to ensure civilian supremacy.

Post Mortem should have been done. I can’t believe how anyone can say that there was no point in doing one.

Why should it have? The family didn't it end off

[@wkhan5]

@@Native2015 simple because by doing a post mortem you will find out exactly what the cause of death was. Finding out what the cause of death was will give vital information regarding who and what killed her. In Europe the family has no say in such things. It is required by law to do a postmortem in any death that is unexplained or controversial. So kindly piss of with your end of
