پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی ۔ یوم تاسیس اور انقلابی تاریخ - #یوم_تاسیس
اکیاون برس کی پیپلزپارٹی اسٹیبلشمنٹ کی بدترین دشمن، محلاتی سازشوں،
ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کے والد سر شاہنواز سیاست کے مخالف تھے۔ ان کا خیال تھا کہ سیاست ایک ایسا کھیل ہے جس کا اختتام ہمیشہ المناک ہوتا ہے۔ وہ اپنے بیٹے کو خوشحال اور مطمئن دیکھنا چاہتے تھے لیکن اس کا کیا علاج کہ اس کے خون میں پیدائشی طور پر انقلاب کے جرثومے پرورش پا کر اس قدر توانا ہوچکے تھے کہ وہ سیاست اور عوامی خدمت کے بغیر زندگی کوہی کارِ لاحاصل گردانتا تھا اور پھر تمام تر مخالفت کے باوجود بھٹو کار زارِ سیاست کا شہسوار بن گیا۔ اسکندر مرزا اور ایوب خان کی کابینہ میں وزارت کے بعد 1962میںپاکستان کا وزیرخارجہ بنا لیکن اس سیماب صفت نوجوان کا اضطرار قرار نہ پکڑ پایا۔ جنوری 1966 میںایوب حکومت سے علیحدہ ہوا، 30نومبر 1967کو پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی کے نام سے ایک نئی سیاسی پارٹی بنا کرجلد ہی ’’قائد ِ عوام‘‘ بن گیا۔ وہ گھور اندھیرے میں چاندنی سے لفظ اور جگنوئوں سے اُجالے مانگ کر آگہی کے شکستہ طاقوں میں چراغ جلاتا رہا تاکہ اس بدن دریدہ قوم کوروشن صبح کا نیا راستہ دکھا سکے اور پھر چشم عالم نے حیرت زدگی کے ساتھ دیکھا کہ کس طرح ایک نوزائیدہ سیاسی جماعت کے کارکنوں اور اس کی قیادت نے مایوسی اور شکست خوردگی کی شکار قوم کو ترقی اور خودداری کی راہ پر گامزن کرنے کیلئے ایسی قربانیاں دیں کہ اس کرہ ٔ ارض پر معرض وجود میں آنے والی کسی سیاسی پارٹی کی زندگی میں ایسی مثال ملنا مشکل ہے!بھٹو کون تھا، اس کی جدوجہد کیا تھی اور پیپلزپارٹی کیا ہے۔ آیئے یہ کہانی خودبھٹو کے اپنے الفاظ میں سنتے ہیں۔ ذوالفقار علی بھٹو اپنی کتاب ’’میرا پاکستان‘‘ میں کہتے ہیں:’’میں نے طبقاتی منافرت نہیںپھیلائی۔ ہاں البتہ مظلوم عوام کا عَلم یقیناً بلند رکھا ہے اور ان کے حقوق دلانے کیلئے جدوجہد کی ہے اور میں اس وقت تک آرام سے نہیںبیٹھوں گا جب تک یہ مقدس مقصد حاصل نہیں کرلیتا۔ اگر میری زندگی میں ایسا نہ ہوسکا تو مرتے وقت آخری الفاظ میں اپنے بچوںسے وعدہ لوںگا کہ وہ اس مقصد کی تکمیل کریں۔ میں اسی مقصد کیلئے پیدا ہوا تھا۔ میںنے اس غریب ملک کے ہر غریب ماں باپ کے محروم ہاتھوں میں جنم لیا۔ میں صدیوںسے روتی ہوئی آنکھوںسے آنسو پونچھنے کیلئے ملک کے سیاسی افق پرشہاب ِ ثاقب کی طرح اُبھرا۔ میں تاریکیوں کو چھٹانے اور غلامی کی زنجیریںتوڑنے کیلئے حضرت علی ؓ کی تلوار لے کر آیا۔ مجھے کوئی ترغیب و تحریص عوام کے راستے سے نہیںہٹا سکتی۔ میں ان کے حقوق کیلئے لڑتا رہوںگا۔ میں انصاف کے حصول کی عظیم جدوجہد میں انہیں قیادت مہیا کرتا رہوںگا۔ میں اپنی آواز کے زور سے ان کی آواز میں زور پیدا کروں گا۔ میں ان کی گاڑی کو آگے بڑھانے میںاپنی پوری طاقت لگائوںگا۔ اس فرض کو ادا کرتے ہوئے میںاسلام کی طرف سے عائد کی گئی بھاری ذمہ داری نبھا رہا ہوں اور ایک انسانی مشن پورا کر رہا ہوں۔ طاقت کا پلڑا اس طبقے کے حق میں پورا پورا جھکا ہوا ہے جس نے صدیوں در صدیوں سے تاریک گھروندوں پر حکومت کی۔ سر سے پیر تک مسلح، ناقابل تسخیر حد تک محفوظ پنڈتوںاور ڈاکوئوں کا یہ طبقہ بے زبانوںکو میری کمزور سی آواز مل جانے پرکیوںدانت کاٹنے لگتا ہے۔ کیوں خوفزدہ ہوجاتا ہے۔‘‘ پیپلزپارٹی کے وجود اور اس کے سیاسی فلسفہ پر تنقید کرنے والوںکو جب تک طبقاتی تضادات کا تاریخی مطلب سمجھ میںنہیں آتا انقلاب کا مطلب بھی نہیں سمجھایا جاسکتا۔ انقلاب ایک خوبصورت لفظ ہے۔ انقلاب تاریخ کی قوسِ قزح ہے۔ انقلاب کا مطلب ہے ناانصافی اور عدم مساوات کا خاتمہ، استحصال اور آمریت کا خاتمہ۔ انقلاب کا مطلب ہے نوع انسانی کی آزادی، جمہوریت پسند عوام کا حق خودارادیت، نسل پرستی کا خاتمہ اور مجبور قوموں کیلئے انصاف کے اصولوں پر مبنی نیا عالمی اقتصادی نظام۔ ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کے سیاسی وجدان نے آج سے 40برس پہلے ہی پیش گوئی کردی تھی۔ ’’عوام پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی کے ساتھ ہیںاور میری قیادت کے حامی ہیں۔ ماضی میں بھی میری پارٹی کا شیرازہ منتشر کرنےکی سازشیں ناکام رہیں۔ اس وقت اور آئندہ بھی ان سازشوں کے مقدر میں ناکامی کے سوا کچھ نہیں۔ انقلابی جماعتیں نہیں بلکہ رجعت پسند جماعتیں آسانی کے ساتھ ٹوٹ جایا کرتی ہیں۔کیک اور حلوے پر ان کا شیرازہ منتشر ہوجاتا ہے لیکن صحیح معنوں میں انقلابی جماعت نہ ٹوٹتی ہے، نہ تقسیم ہوتی ہے کیونکہ عوام فاقوںکوتقسیم نہیںکرتے۔ املاک کے حصے بخرے کرنا ممکن ہے لیکن غربت کی تقسیم ممکن نہیں۔ پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی ملک کی سب سے بڑی قومی جماعت ہے۔ اسکی جڑیں ہر جگہ ہیں لیکن سندھ اور پنجاب میں یہ جڑیں بالکل غیرمتزلزل ہیں۔ عظیم عوام کی یہ عظیم جماعت سیاسی آدم خور نہیںبن سکتی۔ یہ صوبائی عصبیت میں الجھ کر اپنے ہی ہم جنسوں کو نوالہ نہیںبنا سکتی۔ جس طرح ایک فوج اپنا اسلحہ خانہ تباہ کرکے جنگ نہیں لڑ سکتی، اسی طرح پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی اپنے سیاسی درخت کی شاخیں نہیںکاٹ سکتی۔‘‘ ذوالفقار علی بھٹو سے لے کر بینظیر تک بھٹو خاندان کے ہر فرد نے اپنی زبان سے ادا کئے ہوئے ایک ایک لفظ کو اپنے خون سے جلا بخشی۔
‘‘بھٹو صاحب نے اپنی بیٹی سے کہا ’’میرے بعد زندہ رہنا تو ایک بہادر کی طرح اور مرنا تو ایک دلیر کی طرح‘‘ اور اس کی بیٹی نے یہ وعدہ اپنا خون دے کر نبھایا۔ پیپلزپارٹی ا ور بھٹو خاندان کے ساتھ پاکستان کے عوام کا رومانس جاری ہے۔آمریت اور اس کی باقیات کے خلاف جمہوریت پسند نبردآزما ہیں۔ آج آصف علی زرداری اور بلاول بھٹو اس بینظیر جنگ کے سپہ سالار ہیںاور یہ جنگ اس وقت تک جاری رہے گی جب تک محروم طبقوں کی امیدیں زندہ اور پیپلزپارٹی سے وابستہ ہیں۔

#PPP51stFoundationDay - War against terrorism is our war, says Bilawal
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday said the war against terrorism is our war, criticising Prime Minister Imran Khan for saying that was not Pakistan’s battle.
The PPP chairman was addressing a political gathering in Sukkur with regard to 51st Foundation Day of his party, being observed across the country on Friday with a commitment to further promote and safeguard the party’s ideology.

Speaking about the use of religion for political gains, he said religion should not be dragged in politics, however, added that dictators used it for politics in the past.
“The fire in which the entire country is burning today was ignited by the dictators,” the PPP chairman said, stressing need to return to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s philosophy.
He said Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, but this great religion was defamed on the pretext of terrorism.
Bilawal said this fire of extremism, terrorism and non-tolerance has engulfed the society.
“What would have the heirs of martyrs felt when the prime minister said this is not our war,” he asked, adding, “Khan sahib whether you admit or not, this is our war.”
‘Leader stands by his commitment with people’
The PPP chairman also told the prime minister that a leader is the one who stands by his commitment with the masses.
He said if a person wants to become a leader then he should learn from ZA Bhuttoand Benazir Bhutto, who did not bow down before dictators.
Bilawal said the ones aspiring to become leaders should also learn from the PPP workers, adding, “A leader fights for his people.”
During his address, he also slammed the rulers for taking U-turns on their promises made with the people.
‘A favourite was handed over whole country’
The PPP chairman further said previously they were up against one ‘favourite’ individual, but now another has entered the field.
“This is a unique blue-eyed boy who asked for a moon to play, but was handed over the whole country,” he said. “The fate of this favourite will not be different from the previous one.”
Bilawal said this ‘favourite’ says one thing during the day and the other at night, and keeps taking U-turns one after another.
Former president and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari also addressed the gathering. Delegates from all the provinces as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan also attended the event.
The PPP was launched at a convention in Lahore on November 30, 1967. At the same meeting, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was elected as its chairman.
Among the key objectives of the party were “establishment of an egalitarian democracy and application of socialistic ideas to realise economic and social justice.”

OP-ED PPP: A phoenix in national politics
Mian Aamir Hassan
Politics is generally termed as a science or art relating to a social activity, where people form and improve the rules which we all live by. No doubt, the politics is the art with the help of which the politicians attain the seemingly-impossible goals without violence, and political parties are the institutions to serve the nation and protect its interests, both at home and abroad.The party rises from the ashes after every effort to wipe out its existence, since its rivals can kill a man but not an idea.
Pakistan is a federation which requires at least a political party to have representation in all the federal units of the country. It was none other but Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who founded a political party whose contribution in nation building is palpable in all the federal units of our country. It would not be wrong to say that PPP is the only political party which has true representation of the masses across the country. If truth be told, the party has tied the nation in a single chain of unity.
On 30 November 1967, Pakistan People’s Party was founded at a time when the country was divided on ethnic lines and no single party had representation in the areas that form the present day Pakistan. Within years, the Pakistan People’s Party gained popularity and filled the gap. Since then, the party has been playing the role of a federal political party even at the cost of its leaders’ lives. Now the nation’s interests and the party’s goals are so interwoven that you cannot damage the former without hurting the latter.
The history witnesses that most of the parties in arena, nowadays, have either been founded by powers-that-be or work as their extension. Having no genuine vote bank, these parties have to play political gimmicks to attract sub-nationalities. On the other hand, PPP not only respect the voices of such nationalities, also it binds them into Pakistani nationhood since PPP is the only party to do so. On all occasions, PPP has proved itself to be a federal political party. You can find its voters and supporters everywhere from Khyber to Karachi in great number. People’s party is considered the true representative of Pakistan all over the world. That’s the reason, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto used to be invited to deliver lectures on different forums across the globe.
It was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who presented true picture of Pakistan in the world; Benazir Bhutto amplified his vision and mission and, now, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto is all set to play its part for the betterment of Pakistan. We know that Pakistan People’s Party was created under the dynamic leadership of Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto who gave hope to the people of Pakistan already pressed under a decade long rule of a dictator. Commemoration of Foundation Day is about uniting the people of Pakistan in general and the workers of PPP in particular, having a sense of belonging with the legacy Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto bequeathed to the nation.

The foundation day reflect the Pakistani people’s true commitment to PPP due to sacrifices made by the leaders and the workers time and again. With sacrifices they sowed the seeds of tolerance and other democratic virtues in national politics. We know that tolerance breeds tolerance while intolerance begets violence.
The national politics of present day Pakistan is a true example of the same. It is PPP that kept its cool throughout in history despite the worst kind of oppression inflicted on it by the rivals. The slogan of ‘Pakistan Khappey’ was raised by the veteran politician Asif Ali Zardar at a time when the whole country was presenting the scene of lawlessness after the martyrdom of Mohatarma Benazir Bhutto. In fact Mr Asif Ali Zardari has played the same role to get the party as well as the country united after the tragic martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto, which had once been played by Madam Nusrat Bhutto after heartrending assassination of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. She stood firm against the tyrannical oppression of dictator Ziaul Haq and did not let the party fall apart. True to say, no other woman can claim to be of her stature as far as the sacrifices for the party and the people of Pakistan are concerned.This is the day which sends us a reminder to engage with our workers while sticking to the values introduced by the founding fathers of the party. We are well aware that the dictators tried their best to depoliticize the society just to reinforce their own agendas. In this way they dug deep the foundations of this country. In such times, the PPP stood tall against the aggression and violence aiming at its leaders and workers. The presence of Pakistan people’s party on national political scene is the evidence that the party is on true path. No lie can be a substitute to the truth and no party can replace PPP.
One can easily judge that there exists no party like PPP as far as its philosophy, sacrifices and legacy is concerned. The nation is indebted to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who infused a new spirit in the nation and spread political awareness. It was he who realized the nation with the slogan: All Powers to the People. You can find political clowns copying Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s style but in vain, since his style is the legacy bequeathed to his family alone.
Today the air is abuzz with the slogan of change. The real change, in fact, was introduced by Bhutto who elevated common man and allowed them to enter national assembly and other top forums. It was the change brought by Bhutto alone. With a tweet, you cannot bring about a diplomatic miracle on foreign policy front. Again I would refer the character of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who refused to yield before the superpower despite threats to his government and life. He dreamed to witness the ummah united under the banner of Islam, brought China in friend’s circle, raised Kashmir issue all over the world, got the 90000 war prisoners released and so on. This is called foreign policy and the real change. Of course, PPP has set a good example of change and never used abusive language in the politics as it has been fashioned today.
People’s party is fortunate enough to provide mature leadership to the nation in the form of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and Bilawal Bhutto. Now 51st Foundation Day of PPP is going to be celebrated with a pledge and passion to revive its lost glory in the days to come under the dynamic leadership of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto who is inspired with the vision and mission introduced by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. He has rekindled the hope among the masses through his commitment, resilience and dedication.
The visible and invisible forces have always been in quest to tamper the history and erase the sacrifices made by the workers and the leaders of the people’s party from the collective conscious of the nation. For this purpose, they hatch conspiracies and toil day and night but in vain. The rivals adopt measures to damage the image of the party and malign the leadership as said by Joseph Goebbels,
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
But they forget that Abraham Lincoln has already said,
“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
No doubt PPP represents the legendry bird phoenix in the history and national politics of Pakistan. The party even rises from the ashes after every effort to wipe out its existence since its rivals can kill a man not an idea.
