Maadr-e-Jamhooriat (mother of democracy) the late Begum Nusrat Bhutto was a woman of exceptional courage who faced great challenges and gone through unspeakable tragedies in the course of democratic struggle.
This has been stated by former president Asif Ali Zardari in a message on the eve of 86th birth anniversary of Begum Nusrat Bhutto falling today.
The scars of brutality and victimisation that she endured are shining today as glittering medallions ever worn by a woman in the course of democratic struggle, he said. He added that her example to lead from the front would continue to inspire generations to come, to aspire and struggle for lofty democratic ideals.
Zardari in his message said that Begum Nusrat Bhutto was not only the spouse of Pakistan’s first directly elected prime minister and the mother of twice elected and the Muslim world’s first directly elected prime minister but also a woman leader who herself led the struggle for democracy from the front. She will also be remembered for her services to the refugees pouring into Pakistan with little or no resources, he said.
Meanwhile, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party has paid glowing tributes to Madir-e-Jamhuriyat Begum Nusrat Bhutto on her 86th birthday tomorrow. In a statement, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said sacrifices rendered by his grand-mother Begum Nusrat Bhutto during the struggle for restoration of democracy are unmatched and sources of inspiration for the Jiyalas and the masses. She suffered torture and imprisonments at the hands of dictatorial regime of Gen Zia but fought valiantly. PPP Chairman said Begum Nusrat Bhutto sacrificed almost her entire family including husband Prime Minister Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, two sons Shaheed Mir Murtaza Bhutto and Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto and even her beloved daughter Benazir Bhutto.
