Why do all PPP haters dislike Senator Babar Awan?

It is a fact that Federal Law Minister, Senator Babar, is a thorn in the side of all PPP haters, right from Justice Khalil Ramday (of the Supreme Court of Pakistan) to Justice Khwaja Sharif (of the Lahore High Court), from Imran Khan (of PTI) to Shahbaz Sharif (of PML-N), from Ansar Abbasi (of Geo TV) to Dr Shahid Masood (of ARY TV).
Why? The reason is simple.
Senator Babar Awan was a trusted friend of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. He is a trusted ally of President Asif Ali Zardari.
He is brave, to the point, and aware of the Punjabi-dominated establishment’s conspiracies against the PPP.
Here are two video clips of Babar Awan’s speeches to public meetings in Punjab. While these clips have been used by the PPP haters to ridicule Babar Awan, we consider these clips as an evidence to Senator Awan’s commitment to the party and to democracy in Pakistan.

I dislike him for his accusations of so called “Qadiani lobby” behind his defamations, and I dislike him for his TV show, “Laws in Quran” as Quran is not a book of Laws, Laws are made as per the requirement of society with objective approach, A sacred text can set principles for law making but can not give laws.
Though, I appreciate him for his apt handling of Journos and anchorocracy
Who tell that PPP haters only dislike him? All PPP loyal and old guards also dis like him very much.If PPP GOVT again throw out by supreme court than he will be the main cause,because his avtivities are not in the interest of party and country.May be he is loyal to Zardari but he is not to PPP,for this there is no doubt.Zardari will be again in big troubles,because he has chosen his and his friends wishes,not the aspiration of peoples of Pakistan,
@Habib
Can you state some names of “PPP loyal and old guards” who dislike Babar Awan and Asif Zardari?
Or should I state some names of “PPP loyal and old guards” who disliked Benazir Bhutto?
@Ali Arqam
I agree, there are certain areas in this man’s character that are at times hard to defend, not least his anti-Ahmadi stance as you very rightly pointed out.

@Sarah, by “PPP loyal and old guards”, Habib is referring to Judases, back stabbers and other classic betrayers like Aitzaz, Khar, Mubashir Hasan and Mairaj. He is referring to those who openly invite dictators like the corrupt alcoholic Iqbal Haider and establishment sellouts like Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi who are being used like Leghari was!
As a PPP supporter, this is my complaint that ZAB and BB were too trusting and allowed backstabbers and people of low merit like Mubashir to ride on their achievements.
On Dr Mubashir Hasan:

Babar Awan should have tried to spread awareness about 18th amendment. He should have defended the stupid statement of Qazi Anwar& Co ;that this is not a constituent assembly as if this is less privileged generation than 73 assembly members.
@Humza
I think Babar was right, he told what people understand and like to listen.
One may differ with Senator Babar Awan on a number of issues, if one likes – and I’m one of them. But I admire the way he uses the popular idiom with great effect to communicate with the common man and in so many languages that matter in Pakistan; he knows the art of oratory and skilfully combines it with realpolitik. I have also heard him defend the party position in tv talk shows; he has a certain sense of humor, history and timing that makes his case/narrative very logical and biting that almost always hits the bull’s eye – enough to send any opposition off- balance. Whether one likes it or not, Babar Awan is a PPP asset. But given the level of tv journalism and political opportunism, it shouldn’t surprise anyone why PPP-haters hate him too.
He is an opportunist, look at the way he met with pervaiz illahi. BB hated them, he has no right to meet with those people. Atleast true PPP admirers dont like his act.
@Farishte
Are you a a true PPP admirer? Since when?
@Sarah Khan
I am Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto’s admirer since 27 years. I had never heard about Babar Awan before 2007. I am talking about PPP not the opportunists like him and others.

Must sympathise with the PPP supporters who are now left with no other option but to either like someone like Babar Awan or otherwise be termed as PPP haters..
Cant imagine what must be going through the mind of a PPP loyalist who had suffered during Zia’s Martial Law only to find that men like Babar Awan who used to conduct the proceedings of the death anniversary of Zia Ul Haq now are being termed as the true leaders of PPP.
