Today is April 4, the death anniversary of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto – founder of PPP, President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, and one of the most iconic figures (whether you like him or not) in Pakistan’s history. He was hung to death on April 4, 1979, during the military rule of Gen. Mohammad Zia ul Haq. In this historic video, Gen Zia-ul-Haq explains and defends the trial of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
There is much, too much, in this video that is still pertinent today: the role of the military in politics, Gen. Zia’s promise of early elections, the role of a “free” judiciary, views on “justice must be done,” and so much more. Do please let us know what emotions this evokes in you.
For more on the life and death of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto also see our 2008 post on his death anniversary and a post of historic photographs of Mr. Bhutto during this trial.
Bhutto was great Charasmatic leader who assemebeld the best eductaed peoples in PPP…. (I am not Fan on Benazir and Zardari Daccoo and his playboy son Bilawal who is sipping Martini and getting ready to lead the impotent “leaders” of PPP and everyone of them will suck him for sure even our media will go crazy on it, look how stuid they were on Shoaib and Sania wedding.
Zia was a PIG.. look what he gave to Pakistan?
Heroin/Drugs/Klashnokove
4 million Afghan Criminals all over Pakistan
Gave birth to his illegitmate (political) son Nawaz Sharif and his feudals/jagirdar/wadereys who are bloodsucking poor Pakistanis with high price atta and sugar..
Zia a pathetic liar (sitting in Kabba promised elections) but never happened in time frame…
Mardood-e-Azam Zia-Ul-Haque Burn in Hell….
Mardood-e-Momin / Mardood-e-Haq, Zia. Just look at his satanic face, lying through his teeth with regards to holding elections (he had said the same thing about elections while standing in the vicinity of Kaaba). He alone is responsible for the current pathetic state of affairs in Pakistan. He was not an Ummati of Mohammad Mustafa (SAW) but an Ummati of Shaitan! He was the 20th century version of Abdullah Bin Obie (The Leader of Munafiqeen during Rasool Allah(SAW) time.
No doubt Bhutto was a charlton and a demagogue of the first water. He was completely devoid of any faith, any commitment whatsoever. He worshiped only ‘Kursi’ (The Almighty Chair) which he believed to be ‘Mazboot’ and nothing else. But how weak it proved to be! Of course he was responsible for supporting AQK for manufacturing the bomb which the latter is flaunting today like Moula Jatt while the people whom he had promised ‘Roti, Kaprha aur Makan’ are eating grass, committing suicide or running to foreign countries even at the risk of their life today.
According to Liberals theory of stupidity, anyone who talks or *make efforts* in favor of Islam or Ummah is a Taliban or a right wing extremist.
So according to this theory Bhutto was more Taliban than todays talibans and right wing extremists because It was bhutto who engineered “Islamic” Atom bomb by supporting AQ Khan and raised voice against Israel by uniting Ummah under the one roof and declaring Qadyanis as Kafirs. Offcourse Bhutto started “Talibanization” when he let Mehdi to sing “Ham Mustafavi Hain”. Zia just resumed the work started by Bhutto.
Obviously left wing PPP apologists will always shy away to admit this reality
What a pathetic man Zia ul Haq was!
