Reprehensible crimes of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto




By Brig (Retd) Iftikhar

In the history of nations the criminals like Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto require reprehension for crimes against humanity, also its state and inhabitants. He was a fascist dictator, ruthless feudal and a flatterer, there is no doubt that he was punished by God and made him admonition for forthcoming generations. We believe that anyone who conspired or had a hand in destruction of our nation would be punished, and a few examples of wrath of God like last part of Indira Gandhi, Sheikh Mujeeb or anyone is very well evidence of our faith.

Breaking of Pakistan was the major crime of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, and meaning of "Bhuttoism" clearly defines further breaking, and looting of remaining Pakistan. He must be dragged out of his mausoleums (worth one billion built from the pockets of hungry and naked Pakistani's) and must be re-hanged for his other crimes and murders for which he had not been punished.

Iftikhar Ahmad anchor of "Jawabdeh" who fabricated a program on GEO TV:

Who is Iftikhar Ahmad? And what credibility he has in the eyes of courts to wash true black slur from the face of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, unfortunately Bhutto was hanged in only and only one murder, whereas dozens killed on his orders still needs justice.

Iftikhar Ahmad was shoe bearer and bar tender of Zulfiqar Bhutto, a communist and liberal fascist, he was sleeper cell of Al-Zulfiqar and his hands are also soaked in blood of innocent opponents of Bhuttoism. Since then he is on pay role of anti-Pakistan elements and agencies. There is no justification to trust his versions presented on GEO TV being crony of Bhutto, there is a huge crowd of reporters and anchors in GEO who are on pay role of PPP and ISI simultaneously.

Nobody believes that Bhutto did not commit crimes; the only difference in opinion is whether he should have hang or deserved lesser punishment. On the basis of Fabrication of Itikhar Ahmad and his manipulation in interview with Justice Naseem Hasan Shah, was a pre-planned conspiracy and within telecast of his program an application was filed by Hanif

Tahir of "Peoples Lawyers Forum", whereas he says that "Death sentence of Bhutto awarded by Lahore High Courts was wrong decision, and it was a fit case for "Lesser Punishment". Nobody ever pleaded that Zulfiqar was innocent.

On the basis of Iftikhar Ahmad's absurd GEO TV program, the bench of Mr. Justice Sh. Abdul Rashid and Justice Bilal Khan dismissed the petition on Dec 24, 2004.

Iftikhar Ahmad is not a credible anchor and his partisan reporting and grouping is very well known, he is an established crony of Bhutto's, his links with Zardari and views on US war of terror are evidence that all communists of PPP are today's liberal fascists, simultaneously on the pay role of ISI and CIA. At this stage we are not disclosing some personal facts related to his life and reserve right to show public about his character and his links with Al Zulfiqar, moreover his links with foreign elements. His program has no credibility to be made evidence against removal of single decision of High Courts, Supreme Courts, Appeal and mercy appeal (by Nusrat Bhutto) etc.

If you may read carefully the flow of articles and redirections of TV anchors, since hanging of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, one thing is very clear that nobody is denying crime, crime scene, witnesses, proceedings, rights of defense, FIR, police investigations, trust of Zulfiqar Bhutto on courts, many months of trial and reporting by media of every word is on records. Leaving all other media channels, the daily "Musawat", the argon of Bhutto was reporting daily proceedings in headlines, and dozens of scholars were writing comments on daily basis. Unfortunately witnesses were so strong and those were also hanged by same courts.

Current hue and cry in media:

Even though current articles in papers and guests on TV channels are mostly paid by Zardari mafia to propagate and try to made court's decision against Bhutto as a controversial event. Majority of peoples suddenly started to appear on TV channels are mostly cronies of PPP, and those were awarded high posts in Benazir's two terms as bribes because Benazir had question of turning court's decision in her mind and many induced persons on current TV channels have already received their price.

It is laughing that one prostitute was bribed and an affidavit was filed on her behalf that Justice Mushtaq told her that he is determined to hang Bhutto. Half of the current ministers were either in Gen. Zia's cabinet or part of PML, such as Yousuf Raza Gilani, Babar Awan, Mir Hazar Khan Bijrani, Firdous Ashiq Awan, Hina Rabbani Khar and MQM were part of Gen. Zia's Government, majority of members of PML Q in Baluchistan were also part of his cabinet as well that are partners of today's Zardari mafia.

By spirit 90% Pakistani's hate Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto:

During the period of Bhutto's Government everyone in opposition was victimized and feudal mentality fascist decisions were taken, even many in PPP were victimized, humiliated or removed from the scene.

In some well documented cases, Ch. Zahoor Elahi the father of Ch. Shujaat of PML Q was murdered and evidence of involvement of PPP were crystal clear, because Justice Mushtaq Husain was also travelling in the same car along with Court's lawyer who was also murdered along with Ch. Zahoor Elahi on Sept 25, 1981.

Awami National Party was attacked by FSF and goons of PPP at Liaqat Bagh Rawalpindi, where dozens were murdered. Later a case against ANP was represented in Courts and ANP and its leaders were banned. Current form of ANP is a new shape of defunct NAP of Wali Khan Group.

He used air force against Balouch citizens and hundreds were killed.

Father of Mr. Saad Rafiq member parliament of PML N was also killed by FSF.

Ittefaq Foundries was nationalized and family of Mian Nawaz Shariff was pushed to join Gen. Zia's Government, later Benazir and Rahman Malik also humiliated his father Mian Shariff by arresting him due to ego problem.

Dr. Nazir of Jamat e Islami, DG Khan was killed on orders of Bhutto by police and FSF. Abdul Samad Achakzai was also murdered on his orders as well.

There were killings of hundreds of those ordinary peoples, who were opposed to PPP's fascist behaviors, if you may go through date wise accounts of daily Jang and Nawai e Waqt, a comprehensive list of reported killings by media are evidence of fascist and criminal mentality of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his associates.

Murders of famous politicians like Ch. Iqbal, Ch. Zahoor Elahi, Abdul Samad Achakzai, Dr. Nazir and Khawaja Rafiq are enough to re-hang Bhutto.

Thousands were arrested during "Bangla Desh Na Manzoor" campaign and later during 1977 movement against Bhutto's fake elections thousands were arrested. Snatching beards of peoples was routine of Jiala's and bullying on Islamic traditions was their usual practice.

Dillai camp and Shahi Qila torture cells and hundreds of other venues are on records to prove that wrath of God was eminent against cruelties of Bhutto Government.

Bhutto's fascism within his own Peoples Party:

18 murderous attacks on Ahmad Raza Qasoori, attacks on his brother Khizer Hayat and finally killing of his father Nawab Muhammad Ahmad Khan ultimately made Bhutto admonition for next generations.

Bhutto was a clone, joker and murderous killer, snakes were left in the public meeting of Ghulam Mustafa Khar, moreover Haneef Ramay and J A Rahim were humiliated badly that were pillars of PPP. Every leader of PPP who left party gained better status later. Ghulam Mustafa Khar, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Kausar Niazi, Meraj Khalid and dozens others who broke the shackles of feudal lords and say good bye to slavery of PPP's feudal minded leaders were later honored better than PPP. Mahmood Haroon was Minister in Zia era and his wife was member of Majlis e Shoora. As Prime Minister Meraj Khalid and as President Farooq Leghari were leading in fixing crimes and kicking out Benazir and Zardari, both were top leaders of PPP.

Killer genes and inheritance of criminal blood of Bhutto:

Benazir and Zardari brutally murdered Mir Murtaza Bhutto along with other companions at Karachi and a case was filed in courts against both.

The night before when Shahnawaz Bhutto was died in France, it is on records that both brothers fought bitterly when both were intoxicated state. Both married to sister daughters of a communist and KGB agent. Whether one brother eliminated other? For share of inheritance through wife was later kept strictly hidden and for political gains Gen. Zia was blamed. Read carefully papers of that period.

Benazir and Zardari are so cheap that in spite of billions corruption and overseas properties, a lone petrol pump owned by widow of Murtaza Bhutto was grabbed many times. Attacks on the widow of her brother and true heirs of Bhutto legacy are under threat and life of son of Murtaza Bhutto is in great danger because he is the only living survivor of true Zulfiqar Bhutto clan. Benazir was involved in petit assaults through police and goons to humiliate children of his brother.

Bhutto's Fascism against media:

Jang Group was major target of Bhutto and he by name threatened Mir Khalil ur Rahman for consequences, today Jang, News and GEO are major propaganda source to defame judiciary and turn fascist Bhutto as hero is very surprising. Media persons who opposed Bhutto were target and cancellation of their declarations was daily practice. Current situation against media and threats by Zardari is action replay of Bhuttoism mean Goonism. I have a complete list of crimes of Bhutto against media and that requires separate columns. As a ready reference Takbeer, Zindagi, Urdu Digest and imprisonments of Mujeeb ur Rahman Shami, Zia Shahid and Altaf Husain Qureshi are well known to public.

Peoples Party always rule with the help of Pakistan army:

Bhutto entered in politics via Iranian Naheed Sikandar Mirza, and she sent him to UNO as a head of a delegation, he was right hand of Sikandar Mirza in all anti-Pakistan and unconstitutional affairs, later he remained part of Gen. Ayub Khan and he was also minister of basic democracy system and front man in opposing Ms. Fatima Jinnah.

History is witness that Muhammad Ali Bogra and Sikandar Mirza were both descendents of Ghaddar e Millat Mir Jaffer. Bhutto being admirer of both broke Pakistan, and peoples named him as second Ghaddar e Millat of sub continents history, he will always be remembered for breaking Pakistan for grabbing power. His friendship with Gen. Yahya Khan has no question mark because Yahya was also Iranian Qizlibash and he passed rest of his life under Bhutto's rule by enjoying women and wines at Rawalpindi.

Bhutto was chief person who instigated Army to kill Bengali's, so hundred thousands were murdered. Army was used against Balouch citizens; he was civil martial law administrator and after 1977 election he imposed martial law in many big cities as well. Democracy and PPP is a joke.

After passing of 1973 constitution, the true spirit and sanctity of constitution was ruined and within short period of time seven amendments were made, whereas notorious 7th amendment made him dictator, after long Gen. Zia passed 8th amendment.

Today brutal murder of Pakhtoon in FATA and frontiers areas, killings of Balouch peoples, target killings at Karachi, suicide attacks, killings in drone attacks, missing persons, bomb blasts and greed of more power by means of licking feet of Pakistan army is the same action replay of Bhutto's fascism that Zardari is replaying, where Gen. Kiyani is second Tikka Khan.

According to careful statistics current war of terror has killed above 100,000 Pakistanis, where as above 30, 000 Pakistanis are in the illegal custody of army, above 1.5 million Pakistani's who were forced to leave their homes have been ruined. Gradually Zardari-Kiyani syndicate would break the records of Bhutto-Tikka Khan-Gen Yahya Khan syndicate. Turn the history pages backward and note that entire PPP's tenure was composed of everyday bomb blasts, use of army against civilians, complaints of conspiracy against Peoples Party, power in the hands of feudal and army persons. Honorable departure of Musharraf is a replay of providing sanctuary to Gen. Yahya Khan.

Benazir inherited blood and fascist genes of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and she was Graduate of "Fraud University of Zardari", as a tradition of Bhutto, she used army, FIA against civilians and current FIA is ditto copy of FSF of Bhutto era. History never witnessed shame less ruler like Benazir who was kicked out of power two times and for third time she negotiated safety of corruption money with ISI chief, lick lacking of Musharraf and signed NRO to save looted wealth, soon before death her connections with MI were exposed. The clandestine of her cell phone for three years by Zardari bears the secrets of her calls to DG MI and ISI, surely after deleting those calls now telephone has been handed over to
police.

NRO VS Bhutto hanging case:

Zardari is trying to use same tactics that Bhutto had been using to play delaying tactics in his case but in vain. Judiciary is trying to delay NRO cases and a few evictions by courts is a result of pressure from Government. Most shameful decision of Supreme Courts to reject appeal of 11 persons kidnapped by ISI and turning High Court's decision in eviction of those accused is bad precedent, whether is it not funny that no defense lawyer was ever allowed to represent their point of view in front of army courts. After retirement if any justice of Supreme Court would declare that we were under pressure of army than Zardri-Kiyani syndicate have any justification to hang accused persons.

It is on record that Justice Naseem Hasan Shah was insulted and fake plot cases were floated against him to avenge his decision, continuous use of word "Judicia Murder" is a conspiracy, nobody ever denied that Bhutto was not involved in the murders, hue and cry is based on decision that why he was not given lesser punishment. Iftikhar Ahmad tactfully manipulated the venue when Justice Naseem Hasan Shah was under victimization.

Skelton of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto is liable of re-hanging in many crimes; most justified case of re-hanging is his role in breaking Pakistan.

Bhuttos own associates were not spared his wrath

One has to remember that Bhuttos own associates were not spared his wrath; J.A. Rahim, a senior member of the cabinet, learned this lesson the hard way. He annoyed Bhutto once by leaving early from a dinner hosted by the PM. Rahim also made the mistake of showing his resentment by calling Bhutto, Raja of Larkana. What follows is how Rahim described this horrifying experience to Wolpert: On reaching home, I went to bed. . . . About 1 A.M., I was woken up by my servant who said that there was a crowd of people before the house. . . . Some men of the FSF were climbing up the front balcony for the purpose of entering my bedroom. . . . I went to the front door downstairs. . . . Saeed Ahmad Khan, Chief of PMs Security, who was at the head of that mob of armed FSF thugs, answered that he had come to deliver a message from the PM. . . . As the door opened, they rushed in . . . . Besides being beaten by fists, I was hit by rifle butts. I was thrown to the ground and hit while prostrate. . . . I lost consciousness. . . . I was dragged by my legs, then thrown in to a jeep. . . . bleeding profusely. Intellectually brilliant, Rahim had retired as Pakistans ambassador to France, had been one of the founding members of PPP, and had written its manifesto.

ZA Bhutto: Legend, Myth and Reality

ZA Bhutto: Legend, Myth and Reality

Posted on August 15, 2013 by alaiwah
By Dr Asif Javed
Williamsport, PA, USA


“I feel that your services to Pakistan are indispensible. When the history of our country is written by objective historians, your name will be placed even before that of Mr. Jinnah.” The writer of this infamous piece of consummate flattery was a young Z.A. Bhutto, and the recipient, Sikander Mirza, who should be in the political hall of shame, if one were ever to be erected in Pakistan.
Balawal Zardari has recently made a lot of noise about Z.A. Bhutto’s trial and demanded apology for the unjust verdict handed out to his grandfather. It has become very fashionable lately to call it a “judicial murder”. This writer is not a lawyer nor am I a politician; I do, however, belong to the unfortunate generation that witnessed the events of his grandfather’s time in power, and fall from it. It is said that legends ossify over time; in Bhutto’s case, certainly that appears to be so. Bhutto worship has become a relentless train that shows no signs of slowing down; instead, it keeps gathering speed. In the process, the established historical facts are being denied or distorted, and myths are being created. KK Aziz may easily write another volume of Murder of history based upon what we have seen recently.

Z.A. Bhutto was widely admired for his genius.
Henry Kissinger may not have been way off the mark when he remarked, “Elegant, eloquent, subtle. . . .I found him brilliant, charming, of global stature in his perceptions. . . .He did not suffer fools gladly.”
It is however, the other side of ZAB—the dark one—that needs to be revisited. In the process, perhaps we, as a nation, may learn some lessons and see things in the right perspective. Khalid Hasan, a life long admirer, who knew ZAB first hand, and worked as his press secretary, may have written the most balanced and insightful short biography of ZAB. He has summed it up eloquently: “ZAB had all the makings of a classical hero, carrying the seeds of self destruction in him—he was a flawed genius, a god who turned out to have feet of clay. . . .ZAB had many personal failings, including an inability to trust others, a congenital suspicion of friends and high sensitivity to personal criticism.”
With rare insight and objectivity, KH writes: “There is no evidence that US government or any of his agencies played a role in the overthrow of Bhutto—the time has come for us to accept that much of what has happened to our country and our leaders has been the result of our own mistakes. . . .ZAB believed that a country should have only one central figure as leader and all power should flow from him. It is a tragedy that a man of Bhutto’s intelligence, education and sense of history did not appreciate that Pakistan could only survive as a federal state with the provinces enjoying the maximum autonomy. Bhutto could not abide rival claimants to power even if they were elected to their office. He could not work with the opposition run provincial governments in Quetta and Peshawar and squeezed them out; that was his undoing. Bhutto forgot that power in order to be kept, must be dispersed.” KH also notes that it was Bhutto who revised ISI’s charter to include domestic political intelligence.

It is widely believed that Bhutto was hanged for a crime that he did not commit. It is rarely, if ever, asked, who then was the real perpetrator? Mohammad Ahmad Kasuri was murdered in Lahore; the crime scene was found to have shells used by FSF—Bhutto’s elite security force. And yet, the investigation was not extended to FSF. I recall a statement by Hanif Ramay of PPP, then the CM of Punjab, that Kasuri family had many enemies. This was despite Ahmez Raza Kasuri’s contention that there was no suspect but one—ZAB. This was not the first attempt on Kasuri’s life; he had escaped one ambush in Islamabad earlier. These episodes had followed an angry exchange between ZAB and Kasuri in the NA when ZAB called Kasuri a poison and threatened to fix him up.

Ch Sardar, former IG Police, Punjab, has provided the firsthand account of this case in his biography, The Ultimate Crime; so read on: “FSF was created by a notorious dismissed police officer, Haq Nawaz Tiwana, and was headed ultimately by another infamous police officer, Masood Mahmood—-The FSF did not bother about any law, assuming the role of Bhutto’s private army—- Soon after the imposition of martial law, an elaborate enquiry in to the affairs of FSF was initiated. The FSF had gained a reputation of being, Bhutto’s gang of goons, for dirty works. During the enquiry, ASI M. Arshad of FSF, appeared before Ch. Abdul Khaliq, Dep. Director, FIA, Lahore and promised to tell everything truthfully if he were not tortured. He disclosed that he was a member of a special cell in the FSF headquarters, which had the most trusted officers for secret and sensitive missions—then he threw a bombshell. He said he was one of the FSF men who had fired on the car in which MNA Ahmad Raza Kasuri was ambushed.” So, this was the first solid lead in to the infamous murder case that led Bhutto to the gallows; legal intricacies aside, one is hard pressed not to see a connection here.

Ch Sardar discusses the dubious character of the infamous trio of Masood Mahmood (DG FSF), Saeed Ahmad Khan(Chief Sec Officer to Bhutto) and Sardar Abdul Wakeel, DIG Lahore; they all had been among the most trusted police officers of Bhutto and would commit criminal and illegal acts to show him their ‘devotion and loyalty’. After his overthrow, they all were among the star prosecution witnesses in the case that led to his conviction. Sardar also, confirms the widely believed rumor of the time that a procession of opposition women in 1977, was mal-handled near Wapda House, Lahore by the “Nath Force”—a large number of prostitutes, recruited temporarily as police women, specifically for this purpose.

Kasuri’s murder may have been the most famous one, but was by no means the only one; this is a list that includes Dr. Nazir Ahmed of JI, MNA from Dera Ghazi Khan who was gunned down in his clinic weeks after provincial chief of his party, Syed Asad Gilani, had been warned by Khar (Us ka anjaam acha naheen ho ga). Kh Rafiq was gunned down behind Punjab assembly while leading a procession; Abdus Samad Achakzai was killed in his house in a grenade attack while Maulvi Shamsuddin, MPA and deputy speaker of Balochistan assembly, was shot in his car.

Those who escaped attempts at their lives included Wali Khan, who lost his driver and personal body guard in the ambush; this was fourth attempt on his life. Years later, Wali Khan was to warn Zia of Bhutto’s vengeance (there are two dead bodies and one grave; make sure Bhutto goes in first, otherwise, you may be the one). Ch. Zahur Elahi, whose political heirs sit happily with Zardari at present, suffered more than most; Amnesty international once reported that there were 117 cases against him; this included a case of buffalo stealing. He survived in jail in Balochistan, courtesy of Governor Akbar Bugti, who refused to do him harm. Small wonder that after Bhutto’s hanging, Zahoor Elahi requested and received the pen that Zia had used to reject the mercy petitions for Bhutto.
Mian Tufail, was scandalously manhandled in jail, writes Sher Baz Mazari in his autobiography, AJourney to Disillusionment; it was rumored at the time, that a naked prostitute was sent in to his cell to humiliate the Amir of JI. At the height of crises that eventually toppled him, Bhutto rushed in to see Maudoodi in Ichra; one wonders whether the founder of JI reminded ZAB of the treatment given out to his successor. Barrister F. Ibrahim, who was later to become chief justice of Supreme Court, used to share the legal chamber with Bhutto in Karachi, in the 50’s. “Bhutto was very generous, but I sensed a streak of violence in him, a certain mean or vindictive quality,” he told Stanley Wolpert, the author of Zulfi Bhuttoof Pakistan.

Mukhtar Rana, a PPP MNA from Lyallpur, had earned the wrath of his leader by his divergent views. He was deposed as MNA, arrested, and after being subjected to severe physical abuse—according to one report, he almost died under torture—was convicted in a military court and sentenced to five-year term of imprisonment, all in a matter of days. Ustad Daman, dervish Punjabi poet, made the cardinal error of writing an anti-Bhutto poem; he had a case registered against him—he was accused of being in possession of a hand grenade.

Kaswar Gardezi, was one of many to suffer vicious brutality; here is Mazari’s narrative: “In a voice breaking with emotion, Gardezi related his horrifying experience to me. The police presented him with an egg, a potato and an onion, he said, and then asked which of these will he prefer to be inserted in to his anus. After undergoing this humiliation and barbaric ordeal, he was then threatened with sodomy; to his good fortune, this threat was never carried out. Instead, he was badly beaten with a stout cane, after which he was forced to lie naked on a solid slab of ice.”At the time, Gardezi was Secretary General of the NAP, one of the leading opposition parties. Some people have been accused of going to irrational lengths in their hatred of Bhutto; incidents like above, are perhaps, the explanation for this.

One has to remember that Bhutto’s own associates were not spared his wrath; J.A. Rahim, a senior member of the cabinet, learned this lesson the hard way. He annoyed Bhutto once by leaving early from a dinner hosted by the PM. Rahim also made the mistake of showing his resentment by calling Bhutto, ‘Raja of Larkana’. What follows is how Rahim described this horrifying experience to Wolpert: “On reaching home, I went to bed. . . . About 1 A.M., I was woken up by my servant who said that there was a crowd of people before the house. . . . Some men of the FSF were climbing up the front balcony for the purpose of entering my bedroom. . . . I went to the front door downstairs. . . . Saeed Ahmad Khan, Chief of PM’s Security, who was at the head of that mob of armed FSF thugs, answered that he had come to deliver a message from the PM. . . . As the door opened, they rushed in . . . . Besides being beaten by fists, I was hit by rifle butts. I was thrown to the ground and hit while prostrate. . . . I lost consciousness. . . . I was dragged by my legs, then thrown in to a jeep. . . . bleeding profusely.” Intellectually brilliant, Rahim had retired as Pakistan’s ambassador to France, had been one of the founding members of PPP, and had written its manifesto.

Khalid Hasan was once asked by Bhutto to check out a certain person in Lahore. “I found out that the man was saying bad things about Bhutto all over the place,” Khalid writes. “I came back and told Bhutto. His brow furrowed. “His credit in my book has not quite run out yet,” he said. “I shuddered to think what would happen when the man’s credit did run out.”

Malik Meraj Khalid, in his biography, Merajnama, describes the extent to which Bhutto and Khar could go to harass their political opponents. Meraj Khalid once received a phone call from Zahoor Elahi’s daughter, whose admission to Lahore College of Home Economics had been blocked by Khar. By nature a decent man, Meraj had to call Bhutto personally to rectify this. On another occasion, Meraj had to call ZAB again to stop Khar’s plans to set on fire the house on Davis Road, Lahore where Asghar Khan was staying. Asghar Khan was not so lucky with his house in Abbotabad though; it did burn to the ground in very suspicious circumstances.

No account of Bhutto’s Awami Raj is complete without Dalai Camp. It will be fair to call it Bhutto’s Gotanamo Bay. It was used to secretly detain, three political dissidents (Iftikhar Tari, Ch. Irshad and Mian Aslam). These individuals were former PPP members, who had fallen out with Bhutto and left PPP along with Khar. As I recall, two of them had been former provincial ministers. Fearing arrest, some of them had been granted bail before arrest by the high court. They vanished without trace one day, having been picked up by FSF and were only recovered when Bhutto was deposed. Iftikhar Tari, who had the reputation of a goon, appeared broken after release. He narrated his ordeal on TV and could not stop crying in a program called, Zulm ki dastanay.

Bhutto could not forgive. Mazari recounts the following in his memoirs: “Back in the 50’s, Sir Shah Nawaz (Bhutto’s father) went to see Ayub Khuro, who was then CM of Sindh. Bhutto went along. Khuro slighted them by making them wait for half an hour in the verandah, and then drinking tea without offering them any. Swallowing his pride, elder Bhutto requested the Sindhi politician for a job for his son in the foreign service. Khuro listened to the request and asked the elder Bhutto to submit an application in writing to him. He then dismissed them cursorily with a wave of his hand. Later in 1972, as soon as Bhutto achieved power, one of his first acts was to humiliate Khuro by having the walls to his home in Larkana razed to the ground.”

At times, Bhutto’s sensitivity reached absurd levels. Mazari notes: “In the mid 50’s, Ahmed Nawaz Bugti was hosting a table for some foreign ladies at Le Gourmet. Bhutto, who was present at the restaurant, spotted him and asked if he could join the group. Knowing his reputation with women, Bugti declined. Years later, Bhutto visited Quetta as President, to attend a formal dinner held by Governor Bazinjo for Princess Ashraf of Iran. Seated at the high table, he sighted Bugti, who was then Balochistan’s finance minister, dining at a less august table than his. Bhutto asked his ADC to bring Bugti to his table, looked at him and said, ‘Do you remember the time when you would not let me sit at your table? Well this time, I won’t let you sit at mine’.”

Here is another eye opener for Bhutto fans; this is again written in Mazari’s autobiography: “Over dinner at the Governor’s House, Arbab Sikander Khalil, related a rather strange and unsettling story to me. It seemed that Bhutto had recently visited Peshawar and while staying at the Government House, had requested Arbab Sikander for a supply of whisky. The Governor politely informed ZAB that as he did not imbibe alcohol, he was unable to provide the President with liquor. Bhutto then sent his airplane to Islamabad to fetch whisky. When the plane returned that evening, it not only brought alcohol but also, a Federal Minister’s wife too, to keep Bhutto company.”


Here is an excerpt from Stanley Wolpert’s book, Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan:“One of the women Zulfi met at a cocktail party that fall (1963) was Rita Dhar, daughter of V. Lakshmi Pandit, the first woman president of the General Assembly. Mrs. Dhar recalled how immediately after meeting her, Zulfi eyed her lasciviously, inviting her to his apartment.” Nehru’s niece apparently declined to Bhutto’s chagrin.
Pakistan’s young foreign minister was in NY to attend the annual session of General Assembly. Ardsher Cowasjee told Wolper that Nusrat Bhutto had once attempted suicide and was hospitalized in Parsi hospital, Karachi with a drug overdose; on another occasion, she approached Ayub Khan, through Nancy Cowasjee, after “having been thrown out of her own house by her faithless husband.” She was staying in Mrs. Davies Private Hotel in Rawalpindi. It is to her credit that she stuck to her husband as he continued his love affairs.

A myth that refuses to go away is that opposition and Bhutto had reached an agreement and army sabotaged it; the facts speak quite otherwise. Here is Mazari’s account: “At 10 P.M., on July 3 rd,Mufti Mahmood, Prof Ghafoor and Nawabzada Nasrullah, handed over the additional nine points to Bhutto. Having consulted Pirzada and Niazi, Bhutto returned to the PNA team and told them that he needed time for further consultation.

According to Prof. Ghafoor, Bhutto’s attitude appeared accommodating; but only two hours later, his stance hardened dramatically. Addressing a press conference at midnight July 3rd, he lambasted the PNA negotiating team for ‘repudiating their earlier agreement’. It was clear to all that the PPP-PNA talks had broken down once again.” Gen K.M. Arif gives a very similar account of events in his book, Working with Zia. Arif quotes General Gilani, ISI chief at the time, that both him as well as Rao Rashid, newly appointed Director of Intelligence, had warned Bhutto repeatedly that the army’s patience had been exhausted and it was planning to act very soon. KH has also, devoted many pages of his book to crises of 1977. Here is an excerpt: “Tikka Khan (Bhutto’s adviser at the time) told the PM, in the presence of Zia and Corps commanders, ‘Sir, I would say we wipe out five or six thousand of their(PNA’s)men. That will cool them off’. Tikka Khan’s mindless remark convinced Zia and his Corps Commanders that Bhutto and his men were bent upon doing just some such thing.”

Gen. Gul Hasan and Air Marshal Rahim Khan had played a key role in bringing Bhutto to power. They were both dismissed in a most humiliating way, having been forced to sign their resignations, taken hostage and then driven to Lahore in the company of pistol packing Jatoi, Mumtaz Bhutto and Khar. Years later, while awaiting his fate in jail, Bhutto accused Zia of ‘biting the hand that fed him’. He had conveniently forgotten his own treatment of Ayub, Gul Hasan and Rahim.

“Bhutto trusted nobody,” KH notes. “He was troubled by what he considered unrealistic and idealistic liberal approach to press freedom, basic rights and government by law. Long before his overthrow, he had deprived himself of those who were capable of honest and wise advice. . . .and chosen to exercise power through civilian and military bureaucracy that he had once denounced. After his overthrow, he told Inam Aziz—Bhutto’s last interview—that he now understood where he might have gone wrong. He said he wanted to start all over again, back to the real fountainhead of power.” But history is merciless, Khalid laments, and had moved on.

Mazari’s assessment is similar to KH’s: “The press had to bear ZAB’s determined onslaught. As soon as he attained power, he dismissed the chairman of National Press Trust (that he had vowed to abolish) and the editor of Pakistan Times. His rival from the Ayub days, Altaf Gauhar, who was then the editor of Dawn, was placed under arrest. The printer, editor and publisher of Urdu Digest, Zindgi and Punjab Punch were arrested for protesting against ZAB’s martial law, were convicted and sentenced even before the writ petitions challenging their arrests could be heard in the Lahore High Court. Shorish Kashmiri of Chataan was also sent to jail;Hurreyet and Jasarat were banned and their editors imprisoned. Mehran was banned while Iqbal Burni’s weekly Outlook was forced in to shutting down its publication.”This is by no means an all inclusive list of the journals and newspapers that suffered.

KH has analyzed the issue of rigging in 1977 elections: “As far the rigging, it was so unnecessary because he was going to win big anyway. There is no evidence that he ordered the rigging, but he did not exercise the vigilance that it was his duty to do as PM and chairman of the ruling party. His own unopposed election from Larkana encouraged the lesser figures in the party to use the muscle of the state wherever possible to ensure their individual victory.

The first angled brick that Bhutto built was laid by the unanimous and unopposed election of the PM himself. This less than laudable example was followed by his CM’s and some other PPP leaders in the four provinces. His rival Jan M. Abbasi of JI had -been kidnapped earlier, to keep him from filing his papers.” Wolpert traces this back to highly unexpected defeat of Bhutto’s father Sir Shah Nawaz in 1937, at the hands of Sh. Majid Sindhi. “Young Zulfi may have taken too much to heart, the lesson of his father’s election defeat, resolving even at his tender age, never to risk losing an election, no matter how high a price need to be paid to insure victory.”

ZAB’s intolerance had no limits. On 23rd March 1973, an opposition rally at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi was disrupted. Here is the eye witness account by Ch. Sardar, who was SP Police at the time: “It was in the air that armed workers would be present in the public meeting. . . .then came reports that that armed PPP workers were also coming to the same public meeting. . . .by midday, we received information that large conveys of PPP crowds were coming from Punjab and some of them were armed as well. . . .DSP City told me that he saw some FSF men in plain clothes and suspected their involvement—On the FSF involvement, I was really shocked.”The violence at Liaquat Bagh led to eleven deaths and hundreds of serious injuries. Almost four decades later, BB was assassinated at the gate of the same Liaquat Bagh; was this divine retribution? One has to wonder.
Arthur Kessler once wrote that nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion. Many of Bhutto admirers never knew him first hand; one wonders what their reaction would have been, had they seen their leader’s behavior at close quarters. Back to the apology, demanded by Balawal, I am not sure if the Bhutto family deserves an apology for his hanging. One should certainly ask whether the Oxford educated Balawal has the moral strength to offer one to the families of those who suffered his esteemed grandfather’s vengeance.

The PPPs founding

The PPP’s founding

Published Jun 01, 2013 08:23am

I READ with regret F.S. Aijazuddin’s article ‘Sinking the PPP’ (May 23). In it, he said: “Pakistan People’s Party was launched on Nov 30, 1967, in the drawing room of Dr Mubashir Hassan. Its manifesto was drafted by J. Rahim, a former bureaucrat, in that small room. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was elected as its Chairman by a coterie of founder members.”
I want to correct my learned friend by narrating the factual position about the launching of the party.
The party was not founded in one day, i.e. Nov 30, 1967, but it took two days, Nov 30 and Dec 1, with four sessions finalizing the foundation of the party.

The party was not launched in a small room but at a convention (announced a month before the date) and attended by at least 300 delegates from West Pakistan, the majority of whom were from Punjab.

The venue was a ground adjacent to Dr Mubashar Hassan’s house in Gulburg, Lahore.

A day before the convention, registration of the delegates was started. Each was required to pay Rs10 to be eligible to attend and a small card was issued to her/him.
The convention started on the morning of Nov 30. Z.A. Bhutto, J. A. Rahim and Malik Hamid Sarfaraz sat on the stage. The opening speech was made by Mr Bhutto.

Other important delegates who attended were Malik Sharif, Hakim Abdul Latif, Mian Mohammad Aslam, Mohammad Safdar, Aftab Rabbani, A.W. Katpar, Shaukat Ali Lodhi, Mir Rasul Bakhsh Talpur, Mairaj Mohammad Khan, Begum Abad Ahmad, Khurshid Hasan Meer, Hayat Mohammad Khan Sherpao, Chakar Ali Junejo, Mujtaba Khar, Haq Nawaz Gandapur, Jehangir Khan, Imdad Hussain Jamali, Ahmad Dehlvi, Sardar Pir Bakhsh Bhutto, Mir Hamid Hussain, Mian Mohammad Aslam, Malik Naved Ahmad and Abdul Razak Soomro.

According to Mr Aijazuddin: “Its manifesto was drafted by J. Rahim, a former bureaucrat, in that small room.”
No manifesto as such was given at the convention. However, some 10 documents for the foundation meeting were given which were not contributed by Mr Rahim but they were the result of the hard work of Dr Mubashar Hassan, Z.A. Bhutto and other intellectuals.
The third and fourth sessions of the convention were held on Dec 1.

Three names for the new party were proposed (1) People’s Progressive Party (2) People’s Party (3) Socialist Party of Pakistan. Ultimately, the delegates approved Pakistan People’s Party as the name. They also approved a tricolour flag for the party. They approved ‘chairman’ as the designation of the party chief.

The title of Father of the Bomb could apply at the political level to Bhutto, though the roles of Ayub Khan, Zia ul Haq and Ghulam Ishaq Khan must not be ignored.

The real serious effort for the bomb was initiated after 1974 following India's explosion. there should be a limit for the biasedness
وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ اعْدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى

and never let hatred of any-one lead you into the sin of deviating from justice. Be just: this is closest to being God-conscious.

"Man la yashkurunnas la yashkurullah which mean "Who doesn't give thanks to humans, doesn't give thanks to Allah(The Only Worthy of Worship)".

 

[behzadji]

No one can't take the credit of declaring qadianis as non muslim from bhutto. i personally think that just this would be enough for his forgiveness in the hereafter.

 

[Pakistani1947]

"Man la yashkurunnas la yashkurullah which mean "Who doesn't give thanks to humans, doesn't give thanks to Allah(The Only Worthy of Worship)".

"Those who do not thank people, they do not thank Allah." (Al-Tirmidhi 1878).

Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (pbuh) said: He who does not thank Allah does not thank people. (Abu Dawud Book 36, Number 4793)

“Whoever does not give thanks to the people does not give thanks to Allaah” (a saheeh hadeeth narrated by Imaam Ahmad, 2/258).

The hadeeth was classified as authentic by Imams Tirmithi and ibn Hibbaan.

I am thankful to Bhutto for declaring Qadianis as non Muslims and for starting the atomic bomb. this is how i can thank Allah for these two of the biggest gifts.

Only Allah knows the Counsel (مصلحت) behind His plans. He can use Sheytan to tell about the benefit of reciting Ayat-ul-Kursi:

Narrated Abu Mas'ud: The Prophet said, "If somebody recited the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqara at night, that will be sufficient for him." Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah 's Apostle ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came to me and started stealing of the foodstuff. I caught him and said, "I will take you to Allah's Apostle!" Then Abu Huraira described the whole narration and said: ). That person said (to me), "(Please don't take me to Allah's Apostle and I will tell you a few words by which Allah will benefit you.) When you go to your bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi, (2.255) for then there will be a guard from Allah who will protect you all night long, and Satan will not be able to come near you till dawn." (When the Prophet heard the story) he said (to me), "He (who came to you at night) told you the truth although he is a liar; and it was Satan." (Sahih Bukhari; Book #61, Hadith #530)

Bhutoo was no doubt a shrewd politician but a man with loose character and blood of many people on his hands. for a Muslim he can never be role model and hero. Allah choose him as someone who initiated the making of Atomic Bomb, only Allah knows His counsel (مصلحت).

What a pity that even for the greatest deeds you thought of an example of Satan.

Why didn't you think of the prostitute who drank a drought of water to a thirsty dog and was forgiven for all her sins?

Why are we so narrow minded?

Indeed if Allah had given you the authority of deciding to let the people enter into Jannah, you might not have allowed anyone to pop in.......

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger." Allah's Apostle further said, (Allah knows better) Allah said (to the woman), 'You neither fed it nor watered when you locked it up, nor did you set it free to eat the insects of the earth." (Sahih Bukhari; Book #40, Hadith #553)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that." (Sahih Bukhari; Book #54, Hadith #538)


Narrated Anas bin Malik: During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle a Jew attacked a girl and took some silver ornaments she was wearing and crushed her head. Her relative brought her to the Prophet while she was in her last breaths, and she was unable to speak. Allah's Apostle asked her, "Who has hit you? So-and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned another person other than the murderer, and she again moved her head indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it so-and-so?", mentioning the name of her killer. She nodded, agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle; ordered that the head of that Jew be crushed between two stones. (Sahih Bukhari; Book #63, Hadith #216h)


Dr. Nazir of Jamat e Islami, DG Khan was killed on orders of Bhutto by police and FSF. Abdul Samad Achakzai was also murdered on his orders as well.

There were killings of hundreds of those ordinary peoples, who were opposed to PPP's fascist behaviors, if you may go through date wise accounts of daily Jang and Nawai e Waqt, a comprehensive list of reported killings by media are evidence of fascist and criminal mentality of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his associates.

Murders of famous politicians like Ch. Iqbal, Ch. Zahoor Elahi, Abdul Samad Achakzai, Dr. Nazir and Khawaja Rafiq are enough to re-hang Bhutto. source

The murder cases that you referred and the consequential litigation are notoriously popular in the legal circles and even the Zahoor Elahi case is never relied upon in the courts for S109 abatement for murder.
