Twitter Wars: Sara Taseer VS Fatima Bhutto

August 6, 2010

Sara Taseer takes on Fatima Bhutto for ruining Pakistan's public image.

For those who missed it, Sara Taseer Shoaib (daughter of Governor Punjab, Salman Taseer) let loose a string of Twitter updates slamming Fatima Bhutto for her ‘lack of loyalty’ to Pakistan following the young Bhutto’s appearance on BBC World (and a recent article slamming the current government and President Zardari in particular).

If you thought Governor Taseer had a way with words, Ms Taseer’s point-blank accusations make the Governor’s pokes at Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif look almost tame. Cited case(s) in point:

Sara Taseer’s tweets

Fatima Bhutto on bbc world, abusing Pak again

@fbhutto do you have any loyalty to Pakistan. Is there any forum on which you have not ripped Pakistan to shreds.

@tazeen She @fbhutto is so venomously eloquent. A wolf in sheeps clothing.

As a Pakistani living abroad, i’m always struggling to promote it and then a @fbhutto type traitor shows up.

While I do not like the way Sara Taseer has worded her opinion, I must add: ever since Songs of Blood and Sword came out, Fatima Bhutto just doesn’t cut it for me anymore. As a self-proclaimed journalist, I trust her even less, as her one-point agenda starts to grate on the mind. Take her tweets from this same day:

Fatima Bhutto’s tweets

Protests as Zardari rolls into London -great placards. Have you seen them?

Wow. Just when you thought the guy couldn’t get any worse he takes a French Air Force helicopter to go to his chateau as floods rage.

http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=30479 Zardari and his chateau

Really, Fatima? You know its a bad day when you have to cite The News as a source to prove your point (especially when you don’t have one). You telling me you didn’t go to Harrods this week?

    Who is Sara Taseer to point fingers? Also, you left out her more abusive tweets (which she later deleted) which included her cursing Fatima Bhutto in Punjabi.

    How does criticizing the President’s vacation across Europe during a time of emergency make one a traitor? Is this not a democracy? Do we not want freedom of speech?

    Zardari has a responsibility and should have more empathy towards the people that are drowning, starving, homeless and prone to all sorts of diseases. Fatima is NOT the President of Pakistan, she can go to Harrods all she wants.

    Ps. It’s kind of tacky that the Tribune would publish a post which insults another Pakistani newspaper. Improve yourself instead of bringing others down.Recommend

    Completely disagree with Sara Taseer. Blind allegiance to the PPP and the Bhutto-Zardaris does not a patriot make. While Fatima does have a personal vendetta against Zardari, lets be clear, the majority of Pakistani’s share her distrust and hatred for Zardari. We all feel sick to our stomachs seeing our President visiting his mansion in France while nearly 3 million people are affected. If Fatima Bhutto is a traitor, then so are the rest of us.Recommend

    Fatima definately took the high road in this battle on twitter (by ignoring Sara Taseer). I’d like to point out that Fatima never “ripped Pakistan to shreds” she only mentioned the truth about Zardari. Guess Sara Taseer has reason to be loyal while her family enjoys the perks of the Governor house she keeps mentioning in her tweets.Recommend

  • Reply Salman M Aug 6, 2010 - 3:17AM

    Is it now considered unpatriotic to question the President’s tours abroad while the country drowns and burns? It is the blinded allegiance to the party in power that Sara Taseer displays which is much more dangerous. Given the country’s current state, most Pakistani’s continue to ask where the leaders that are suppose to be governing the country are? Sara Taseer’s comments remind me of the time the republicans in the US used to call anyone criticizing their war policies as “unpatriotic”. We need more Fatima Bhutto’s in the country, making more noise.Recommend

    I don’t see any problem with Fatima Bhutto’s tweets or interviews. You can’t go around and fool the world on International forums about the reality of Pakistan. It is way better to understand and realize your own shortcomings before the others point them out for you.

    If Fatima writes against Zardari – for certain personal reasons – then so does several other journalists write against him for impersonal reasons.

    This blog looks more like a half-baked tabloid story!Recommend

  • Reply Karishma Aug 6, 2010 - 9:08AM

    And this bit is supposed to actually be worthy of finding space in the etribune? Fatima in no way ripped Pakistan apart, she was only highlighting the ugly truth of Zardari, which everyone is aware of.

    As for Sara Taseer we all know what her claim to fame has been! Apart from being the daughter to the governor of Punjab (and getting perks because of it)copying designs of an Indian artist in no way qualifies her as the good brand ambassador of Pakistan. At least Fatima did not stoop to Sara’s level of name calling. Actually Sara Taseer has none, point proven by her recent outbursts on Twitter against @fbhutto.Recommend

    This is blogging at its worst & I am shocked that Tribune published it. For one thing it is high time that people stop writing complete articles based just on tweets, I am sure any serious writer can find enough issues other than these to write about. We have more than our share of things going around.

    Sara Taseer wants to promote Pakistan, why not ask the powers to be with whom she is in close contact to stop ruining it, then she won’t have to create a fake image of our country we’ll be able to settle the things in a much better way. And I mean seriously, is Ms Taseer even in a remote position to point fingers?

    When Altaf Hussain said that the President should not be visiting London people defended him against his critics saying that Altaf is not holding any public office hence he can live where ever he wants, so how come the write compare Fatima’s visit to London with that of the President’s?Recommend

    Seriously, I can’t believe somebody even bothered to write this blog post or worse-agree with Sara Taseer! I don’t get how writing the truth or actually coming out with it makes one a traitor..I assume Ms.Sara Taseer believes its better to sweep things under the rug, after all it’s convenient for her that way isn’t it? I’m enraged by her casual use of words like ‘loyalty’..seriously? Because you apparently ‘promote’ Pakistan by really not talking about any of what’s going on, you’re loyal? Ahan..It’s about time we stopped thinking that the people of this nation are idiots-we’re smarter than the government (ehem, you listening Mr.Taseer?) thinks we are..so stop.seriously.Stop. Acknowledgement of issues is the first step towards any change but of course we all know trying to change the wonderfully convenient ‘status-quo’ will make us unpatriotic in Ms. Sara Taseer’s eyes.Recommend

  • Reply Ahmed Aug 6, 2010 - 1:56PM

    Ms. Taseer is trying to defend her father’s ruthless attitude towards poor people of Punjab.

    Zardari is just counting days before he is thrown out either by people (a bloody revolution i believe) or the Army (yes, General Kyani, because every time the political government gives a favour to army officer, the same officer throws that govt out, sadly).

    Zardari went to chateau just to make sure that his exile days will be peaceful.Recommend

    The typical of PAK elites, with useless ambitions and directions less hopes, with no track record of any real practical work for the masses. Look at the way Zardari is “MARKETING” his son and daughters in his meeting with WESTERN powers.

    Sara accused Fatima of being anti-Pakistan but she looks anti-Zardari and not anti-Pakistani. She talks and writes about the bad governance of the present government and not gainst the State. She had travelled around the country and had visited farflung areas of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Sindh and had written about the pathetic condition of the victims of natural calamities. Sara and her father cannot even get out of their airconditioned rooms to visit the current flood affected areas even in Punjab.Recommend

    Its so heartening to see so many Pakistanis rise to the occasion when it came to criticizing someone who tried to defend the country or the President. So wonderful to see patriots who can’t wait to blog and exercise their “freedom of speech”. because that is what will fix this country. Lets just keep changing governments and leaders because that is the panacea to all our problems. Why dont we GET it?? Why do we feel that we have done our patriotic duty by lamenting about the President being at his Paris mansion while Pakistan drowned – I bet at least half of the people waxing poetic on this blog have not loosened their purse strings to help those who have lost it all in this terrible tragedy of nature.

Fatima Bhutto can go to Harrod’s as much as she wants because she isn’t the president. Not to mention, are you aware of the state of Pakistan at the moment? Have you been keeping up with the news at all? And thirdly, you really need to lose this habit you have of slamming people in your articles, its extremely unethical. First is OBA, now The News, come on, that’s not a very professional approach is it? Blogs can be subjective, but you kind of push the limit.

    I am not at all interested in watching two women fight and then be further pitted against each other by media. Every one of these women has been significantly hurt by politics, they lost their parents, and I have no doubt that they both care for Pakistan. They are each allowed to have their opinion and we need to create a free Pakistan where we can have such open debates to improve the country. No one is all bad or all good, we are all a bit of both, everyone is allowed to make mistakes, and I can tell you that I for one am impressed at these women, for their courage and for being who they are, both very brave, despite the posionous and poverty culture in Pakistan. I support anyone who steps up and stands up coming from the filth that Pakistan is producing. Ours is not a culture to produce great minds, thinkers, leaders, etc. So when a few do rise above, especially when they are women in such a patriarchal culture, we should back them up, we should have faith, we should encourage them, we should have open (but respectful) debates with them so we can all be better. We should know that no leader in the world has ever been perfect, so why do we expect a perfect leader will come out of poor, uneducated, corrupt and confused Pakistani culture?Recommend

Never saw them active out in streets of Pakistan, helping people out or even stood up for them. Keep your cat fight to yourself as Pakistan has nothing to do with it. You may say our families sacrifices for Pakistan and I say they lost it in the line of selfishness and their personal agendas because when they were rulers as a common citizen of Pakistan I never had no benefit neither had Right to Practice my rights. So take your dirty little politics to else where and DO NOT involve Pakistan within. Follow whatever white man says and stay in white man land coz that is where coconuts belongs. Oh and let me remind you to read the Life of a man I follow, his name is Muhammed (PBUH) if you really want to make a difference to Pakistan and ” change the world” (That is what they all say on fashion shows) then be a true Muslima’h not the tool and symbol nudity on the name of fashion and so called posh life, moderate Muslim or what ever. Because End of the Day, your and my place is underneath the earth, where no one can get help of Mama n Papa or any other. Who knows when will be your turn. May Allah forgive Salmaan Taseer and Benazer Bhutto but once they were SO POWERFUL PEOPLE, THEY SAID “WHAT EVER” THEY WANT TO SAY, WHAT EVER THEY WANT TO DO …. Where are they now ? See my point …. ? So come to truth and feel the truth n truth is There is no God but one God and Muhammaed (PBUH) is His messenger. Believe it or not You and I will be judged. Prepare yourself for that day or make sure you have a good Excuse, why you didn’t ? .Recommend

    Mr Boxer, your comments are irrelevant. Both ms ST and FB are educated& experienced. One business lady one writer. I’m sorry but we all love holy prophet pbuh unfortunately he is not around to lead Pakistan politics and even if he were, I’m sure he may want to as I feel we are nowhere near being true muslims. Just bloodthirsty thugs. Suggest we hang on to the few leaders we have and back them as Mila suggested.Recommend

    Correction , i dont think president shouldnt had gone out of country so its not whole world you talk about . his visits outside brought aid for same affectess president is not the one who is working on ground not the prime minister not the chief ministers not even the counselers , why cant they move from their house when they not even doing anything on ground?
    p.s. fatima has no chance to be in hand to hand with benazir bhutto family even if she wants too , shes stands no where , her mothers party cant even win 5 seats in national assembly even her father had no powers to win in national assembly even when benazir bhutto was out of power. benazir bhutto family and ppp doesnt need fatima bhutto even if she want to be part of them.Recommend

    I am creater of group at facebook with name and style “Fatima BHutto’ to help her to save pakistan. She is the only political legal heir of Bhutto family and she has ability to save pakistan for new dimentions with the help of some good politicians who are in politics but in a line like awais leghari sheikh rasheed mqm and pervaiz musharef. they all need help.Recommend

    Seriously? She isn’t the President of Pakistan, and is in no way accountable to ‘the people’ for her actions.

    Even if she did go to Harrods, I’m sure she had her reasons.

    And you call this baseless, biased judgement on character ‘journalism’? Really Nadya V?Recommend

    all these spoiled kids of wealthy politicians think that they own Pakistan and the entire responsibility of doing the good is theirs, while they dont want to leave their airconditioned room,luxurious cars, vulgar clothes and studies abroad.

    You know its a bad day for “The News” when the moronic blog of a moronic newspaper (the news part is used lightly there) starts insulting its integrity – after they just published some headline news about TWITTER. Remind me, which one is the most read newspaper in Pakistan? Hey Nadya! I think there’s a fashion show for cats going on that would suit your level of “journalistic skills” a bit better…Recommend

    Fatima Bhutto is not important; why even bother talking about her. She does not matter here in Pakistan. And yes, if you do look at her interviews to foreign channels, she does exactly what she is not supposed to and that is defame Pakistan. But then again you can’t blame her, she’s still confused about who martyred her father, her mother tells her it was Zardari, but history tells us it was the establishment without any doubt.Recommend

    This article/posting is apparently very suspicious and tended in nature.

    Although I have not studied journalism or mass communication , I also personally believe that it lacks the fundamental objectivity and NEUTRAL journalistic content.

    As a result I have been inclined to believe that the intentions or opinions of Nadya V. ( the one who wrote it ) are biased.

    And it is very surprising how THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE expects to have a maintained news reputation while allowing such postings.Recommend
