Top 5 Political leaders of Pakistan

1- M.A. Jinnah (Father of Nation)
2- Asif Ali Zardari (Strengthened the democracy in Pakistan. All alone he out wit everyone)
3- Z.A.Bhutto (Touched the heart of Pakistanis like no one and he still rules the Pakistan)

[Anfield]

1 and 3 were true leaders. 4th one should have been a very good leader given her qualification but unfortunately she couldn't deliver. 2 and 5.. should be thrown out.

 

[amateurdentist]

Sadly the list is true. shows the standards we set for ourselves

Afterall leaders are a represesntation of a people

April fools was last week

#4 got more seats than #3 in KP and Baluchistan (she was PM for 18 months, so we should not expect her to deliver much)
#2/5, what's your objection(s)?

 

[Khaleefa]

Why isn't Zardari at # 1?
He surely outwitted every Pakistani, including Jinnnah. Jinnah had no idea that the likes of Zardari will one day rule the country he is fighting so hard for.

Mulsim League was a defeated party in 1939, M.A. Jinnah made ML the voice of muslims of India (though he was termly ill) and founded Pakistan (including BD).

He deserves to be at #1

 

[MRSN]

Zardari is a typical politician not a leader at all.

 

[Black Zero]

Zardari is a typical politician not a leader at all.

Neutralized establishment / GHQ / Judiciary / Media and get full cooperation from:
PML-N, PML-Q, ANP, JUI-F, MQM, Kiyani, ECP and others

This is called true leadership so that even your opponents cooperate willingly.

 

[amateurdentist]

credit should also go to zardari for teaching pakistanis a lesson and also for atleast having the ability to see out 5 years so democracy continues. this time people will choose and they might think. next time they may think more before casting their votes

 

[khanz141]

Zardari is not a leader, he is a corrupt politician.

Secondly, he is the biggest reason for the demise of PPP. I see PML-Q path for PPP also.

 

[The Dark Corner]

The fact that you put Zardari, Benazir, Nawaz and ZAB in the same list as Mohammad Ali Jinnah is absolutely cringe-worthy.

Jinnah was a true leader.

The others all ensured control through false promises and mafia type methods. THAT is the sad reality of our nation. These mafia families have been allowed to rule for so long. We deserve our leaders.

So yea, only Jinnah can be considered a true leader.

 

[LethalSami]

only one leader on that list...and gave us Pakistan

one person on that list is responsible for breaking that Pakistan into 2 and throwing us into a civil war resulting in countless atrocities

other 3, are a mixture of corruption, evil, murderous, sub-human parasites.........or some combination like that.

only BZ would come up with a pathetic list as this........no wonder he is a die-hard Malik supporter

should i add Lincoln, mao, khumeni in the list instead?

this was decided 5 and half years ago (you can search and confirm yourself by checking that leak in the newspapers of that time) that after 5 years of pppp, pml-n will take over...etc...


Like M.A.Jinah, A.A. Zardari, won the battles on table ... i kept both of them above Z.A. / B.N./N.S. as only these two knew what it takes to be winner...
other three were defeated (by generals/terrorists/dumb awam)

 

[amateurdentist]

Pakistani (i.e. west ) "leaders" were "sick" of bangalis, and as early as 1958, wanted to get rid of east-pakistani...

throwing in to civil war? on isi propaganda... not your fault, you got history from ill-educated, biased punjabi journalists

 

[The Dark Corner]

I understand what you're trying to put across. Yet, there is a fine line between someone like Jinnah, and the other 4 in regards to the 'top' political leaders in Pakistan.

As far as leaders go I would put Zardari and Nawaz in my worst leaders list.

 

[Waseem]

Jinnah & Bhutto YES

Benazir & Nawaz OK to some extent but should NEVER be called leaders, got power with help and not due to their qualities.

Zardari....thread should be LOCKED for including his name in this list

Thank God I didn't get my history/education from whereever in hell u did............that's the reason I don't make BS lists as these and defend pathetic players as if you're his closet lover

All credit goes to Zardari that he transformed all powers back to PM and restored the constitution.

he restored the trust in democracy and setup the neutral setup for election...
now its all up to Pakistani public to choose anyone...their choice, if they pick, ns, ik or black chor...Zardari made this possible!

even ik is not boycotting this time and happy with ecp ..

He made it possible by being the driving force behind the worst government this country has ever had to suffer through.

If people are not given the choice to vote him out, hell, there might even be a revolution. There definitely will be massive discontent, people leaving and what not.

You fail to discuss the element of extensive corruption that Zardari has personally overseen. If that is the kind of leader you favour, well then there really is no point arguing with you at all.

Not a single case proven.
and most of them were made-up by saif-ur-rehman...and by the creators of iji...

"they" have been fooling the public by putting all the blame to politician...while they are only one to be blamed...

has zardari asked army to not to defend the Pakistan ?
has zardari asked judges not to provide just to the needy ?
has zardari asked bureaucracy to remain in efficient ?

Politicians are basically law makers...this is their primary job..
and Zardari (along with his partners) restored the constitution ...

 

[oyei]

Shoaib Malik should be added to this list.

 

[saeedhk]

Zardari at he top.

Only true leaders were no.1 and 3.

 

[Top Spinner]

ppp going nowhere under the great leadership of Zardari.

 

[Goggy]

BZ - the resident PPP troll and zardari's chief whipping boy at it again!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Seeing out a full term, cooperating with the establishment and neautralising a hostile opposition is a huge achievement from Zardari.

 

[Khaleefa]

I think had Jimnah knew what today's nation of Pakistan will do to the country he is fighting for, he would have perhaps changed his ideology and left everything as it was. Unfortunately, Abul Kalaam Azad had a better grasp of things and today our situation is EXACTLY what Mr. Azad predicted.

 

[Khaleefa]

Seeing out a full term, cooperating with the establishment and neautralising a hostile opposition is a huge achievement from Zardari.

Specially when you have the backing of White House.

if this is benchmark then Devil is number one leader , he has 6 billion ppl neutralized and get cooperation from them.

 

[AZ]

I would put Benazir right at the bottom, she was by far the biggest disappointment.

 

[Badsha]

I hated ZA bhutto. Because of him we are in a lot of trouble but I can not deny that the man was a leader.

 

[spinDoc]

@Black zero

Go on you tube and see talat live last 2 episodes-filmed last wk in rural sind-stronghold of PPP-see how these poor ppl are living and y they vote PPP.

If i could i would drag PPP and PMLN leaders in the streets like the way qaddafi was draged and shot.

makes my blood boil to see rich ppl living a comfortable life supporting these crooks.

It is criminal how we treat our own people. Don’t you see how they live?

You are joking right?

 

[toadgs]

this list is on based on political success. not based on political leaders. bcz none on the last 4 names or you can leave za bhutto are/were political leaders. they are/were dictators in their parties. if u say political leaders i'll like to add names like nawabzada nasar ul allah khan and such. what you guys say?

 

[Black Zero]

Performance-wise there is not much to chose between Baynazir and Nawaz Sharif.

Both were defeated/sacked...TWICE

however, Baynazir was lot more courageous than NS, and was not confined to only one province ...

So NS deserves to be below Baynazir

What if "your" people vote for NS AGAIN...
Problem is with you, do not blame political leaders...

Zardari given you the chance to pick next generation of leaders......


By the way, Talat is not better than other "showmen" ... which means that he is dumb..
and got no idea whats going on...

i wont blame rural ppl who are under feudal lords if they vote who there feudal lord tell them to vote but i will blame ppl like u/me and urban population if they vote PPP/PMLN-

Nations desreve there leaders.
We deserve whats coming whatever it may be . If we belong to rich faimlies then we might servive in present pak for a while but not too long ,there are not enough bulletproof cars/high walls/arm gaurds to protect us from the increasingly desperat poor.

Y you blaming talat? just watch the show and see what u think.

you can add hamid nasir chatha, jamali, Jounejo, Asghar Khan, TUQ, Walli Khan, Liaqat , Aslam Baig, Qazi, Fazl or IK...at the end of day, you need win at national level to be called leader...

otherwise leading in the drawing room...is too low a standard...

A leader can be a leader of chickens or a leader of the world. There is no definition for it.

Your list if probably that of the worst leaders in Pakistan.

 

[Bewal Express]

1)M A Jinnah
2)Gen Musharaff

6) Zardari

Pakistan needs 10 more years of zardari. maybe i am being generous. 25?

After Liaquat Ali khan, it’s just a long list of trash

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Mohammad Ali Jinnah

Liaquat Ali Khan

.
.
.

Ayub Khan
.
Musharraf
.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

.
.
Benazir Bhutto
.
.
.
.
Yahya Khan
.
.
.
.
.
.
Zia ul Haq
.
.
.
Nawaz Sharif
.
Asif Ali Zardari

This would be my ranking of our major leaders. Not ranking Imran yet as he hasn’t finished his term, but so far he’d be pretty high up since the general standard is so low.

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan has not produced any good leaders after MA Jinnah. If I were to pick one, I would pick Ayub Khan because Pakistan witnessed a lot of development during his era.

If I had to pick one two years ago, I would have picked Imran Khan but he has been a massive letdown since coming to power.

Bhuttos and Sharif leaders ?? they are/were thugs and thieves.

Oh boy, where is black zero .. one of the originals ...

 

[Giannis]

Lol it's ridiculous how OP has a marxist axe in his avi but idolizes kleptocrats that actually support crony capitalism, feudalism, ethnocentrism also known as bourgeoisie nationalism by Marx and Lenin who were staunchly against nationalism and regionalism and supported a highly centralized federation or a "dictatorship of the proletariat".

This is why I laugh when people in Pakistan claim to be "liberals", "leftists" or "socialists". For them it's like a trend they picked during the cold war and made it their identity even if they have no idea how contradictory their own views and actions are from Marxism. Pakistan "leftists" are just stuck on wearing red hats, reading corny emotionally manipulative poetry, wearing t shirts with Che on them ignoring the atrocities the guy committed. Some of the most confused and snobbish people you'll ever meet from Pakistan who think they know everything lol.

 

[Bigboii]

Frankly I don't like the word "leader" it sounds too idealistic, OTT and to some extent a bit cringy

Would rather have people talk about greatest PM's so than we can even include dictatorship

I would add Muhammad Khan Junejo in that list somewhere

A real interesting character

 

[Greenstorm]

My rankings,

1. MA Jinnah (obviously)
2. Ayub Khan
3. Imran Khan (will probably surpass Ayub at the end of this decade)
4. Liaquat Ali Khan
5. Musharraf

Yes, Junejo is among the better PMs we have had. Shoukat Aziz wasn't too bad either.

Good job with rankings

I feel like people are overating LAQ (which you didn't do) cause of his role in Independence movement

But purely as a PM you can point to some mistakes he made during the formative years of Pakistan which Pakistan is still struggling with (not saying he was bad just saying he wasn't as good as people paint him to be)

 

[Bigboii]

https://www.dawn.com/news/1354690

Dawn's ranking put LAQ right at top

(But this was done by internet voting so no technical analysis)

 

[Bigboii]

If people know Urdu this is an interesting factual/non biased take on Ayub's Administration

(Assuming you voted in GE18)
Does this mean you had voted for PTI in GE18?

4) Bhutto
