President Asif Ali Zardari has made history today by becoming the first civilian president of Pakistan to complete his five-year tenure. However, Zardari has faced more negative propaganda during his tenure than any other political figure. Many conspiracy theories were fabricated and unleashed against him since he became the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman and even his most well-intentioned statements were misconstrued. After Zardari became the country’s president, the Presidency was dubbed as a hub of conspiracies. Zardari’s rise to prominence was considered accidental and it was prophesised that his political career would be a short-lived. Some cynics even labeled him as a ‘beneficiary’ of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. With the passage of time, Zardari-bashing became a fashion among the intelligentsia. A road map of his collapse was announced by analysts and deadlines of his departure were delivered every other month.
