Z.A.Bhutto was an asset of Pakistan

Sindh Assembly on Saturday continued discussion on the resolution to pay tribute to the founder of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB)

.

Sindh Information Minister Shazia Marri said that Shaheed Bhutto was not only leader of PPP but was also an asset of Pakistan and the Islamic Ummah.

She said that conspiracies were even today against democracy. PPP is not a party of one person, it is an ideology and a movement.

Dr Sikandar Mendhro, Rafique Engineer, Abdul Qadir Rajpar, Rashida Panhwar and Najma Saeed Chawla also addressed the house on the subject.

Parliamentary leader and Senior Minister Pir Mazhar-ul-Haq while talking on the floor said that though Shaheed Bhutto was born in Sindh, he emerged as a world leader. “He converted the dead nation into a living entity and gave voice to those who were nearly dead. He united the Islamic Ummah and made Pakistan a nuclear power”, Haq said.

The minister, however, felt that that great leader was not treated with justice. In a false case, he was given a capital punishment on the evidence of an approver, he noted.

Haq said that the approver Masood Mehmud gave a false statement after a confinement of five months.

Provincial Minister Muzaffar Ali Shujra said that some elements were bent upon to eliminate PPP, but they could not do it because that party belonged to late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and poor people.

MPA Shama Mithani said that Shaheed Bhutto was a great leader and statesman who gave political awareness to the people. Today, we are all Bhutto.
