Ever wondered what Benazir Bhutto, the slain Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader, would have thought of the way her 19-year-old son Bilawal Zardari-Bhutto is being wooed and fawned over, not just in cyberworld but in her hometown of Karachi?

There seems to be no stopping the global members - now 2,264 (the numbers are inflating as we speak) - of the Facebook virtual group ‘Let’s not assassinate Bilawal Bhutto because he’s cute, ok?’ which suddenly sprouted after Bilawal was crowned the new leader of his mother’s party. It has photographs, song dedications, video posts and even an ugly and out-of-hand catfight.

With their imagination running amok, the young women members of the group seem more like cyber stalkers of the Oxford undergrad, calling him their “romeo” with “yummy eyes”, “perfect nose”, “rosy cheeks” and a “flirty” smile.

There is also a ludicrously funny “Want to marry Bilawal Zardari Bhutto” group, of Pakistani origin with 20 members, challenging “Do you have what it takes to become Mrs Bhutto Zardari?”

Back in Pakistan, there is a teeming crowd of young girls, mostly from private, up-market schools, who just knew vaguely of Bilawal Bhutto as Benazir’s son, have suddenly fallen in love with him and become his most loyal supporters. And among these pretty little things are those who’ve even begun to enjoy Pakistani-style politics akin to a soap opera with action (a few killings thrown in for good measure), drama and the missing ingredient - love.

However, there is yet another league which has begun comparing him to his cousin, Zulfiqar Junior (son of Benazir's slain brother Mir Murtaza Bhutto) and find the latter far more attractive - or to be precise a “hundred times better” looking than Bilawal.

Then there is 15-year-old Asma Abid, who finds Bilawal just another ordinary bloke and is rather annoyed by all this preposterous fanaticism. She thinks he should be left alone and given time and space to grieve and not be stalked like this.
