  • Pakistani author and poltical commentator, Fatima Bhutto on CNN'S Talk Asia this weekend

    Submitted by ITV Production on Mar 28

    MUMBAI: Outspoken Pakistani writer and poet Fatima Bhutto joins CNN?s Anjali Rao on TALK ASIA this weekend. The niece of slain Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Fatima tells Rao about her childhood memories of her aunt and why she blames her aunt for the death of her father, Benazir?s brother. Fatima also condemns Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf?s current rule as a dictatorship and criticizes his alliance with the U.S. in the War on Terror.

    On her instantly recognizable last name, the young writer says it?s neither a blessing nor a curse: ?It?s just a name, it?s funny to be held accountable, to a surname, I think if you change my name, it doesn?t change who I am??.

    Fatima Bhutto has had an acrimonious relationship with her aunt and was one of her most outspoken critics: ?My criticism to her was political, not personal. But when she died, it became very clear to me that I knew two Benazirs, I mean I knew two very different women.? Bhutto tells Rao: ?I knew the other Benazir, who was in power, and caused a lot of sufferings for the people of Pakistan, presided over a large scale corruption, recognition of Taliban government, human rights abuses and her negotiation for national reconciliation ordinance with General Musharraf that was unrecognizable to me.?

    Fatima tells Rao, ??as for my father?s murder, yes, I did blame her??

    On fighting terrorism in Pakistan, Fatima says the United States should ?mind its own business?they don?t combat terrorism by empowering a military dictator, they don?t combat terrorism by arming Pervez Musharraf to fight his own people.?

    Rao?s conversation with Fatima also moves away from politics, towards her other passion, her writings. She talks about her recent book, a collection of first-hand accounts from the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan: ?It was a generation of young Pakistanis that were wiped out. I mean 80,000 people lost their lives in the earthquake.? The reason behind her putting this collection together: ?I found these young children, young boys and girls who were so desperate to talk.? and ?They?ve always been described passively as victims, but they were very much survivors.?
