Bhutto's criticism of the final agreement caused a major rift between him and Ayub. Chief Justice S. Anwarul Haq adjourned the court until the end of July 1978, supposedly because five of the nine appeal court judges were willing to overrule the Lahore verdict. Bhutto established the Allama Iqbal Medical College in 1975. [42] On the other hand, Bhutto intensified his staunch support and eye-blindly backed Abdul Qadeer Khan to quietly bring the Urenco's weapon-grade technology to Pakistan, keeping the Kahuta Laboratories hidden from the outside world. [99] However, General Zia-ul-Haq ordered a training programme with the officers from Special Air Service (SAS). [76] The remittances from overseas Pakistanis, which now total around $US25 billion per annum, constitute a dependable source of foreign exchange for Pakistan. [9] Modern amenities, for instance medical aid, automobiles for passenger transport and schooling of children became available in the interior of Baluchistan for the first time, since 1947. [108] Pirzada filed an application to then-Chief Martial Law Administrator. Mom (Nusrat Bhutto – Benazir’s Mother) remained silent. “The accession of Junagadh to Pakistan placed India in an acute dilemma for which any escape could be turned to the advantage of Pakistan” writes H.V. At the time of Indian independence, Sir Shahnawaz Khan Bhutto was the Prime Minister (Diwan) of Junagadh State which was overwhelming populated by Hindus but its ruler was a Muslim Nawab. Zulfikar was their third child—their first one, Sikandar Ali, had died from pneumonia at age seven in 1914, and the second, Imdad Ali, died of cirrhosis at age 39 in 1953. His father was the prime minister of the erstwhile Junagadh estate. The Bhuttos are of Rajput ancestry, based in Sindh province. [81] While Abdul Qadeer Khan was tasked with bringing the gas-centrifuge technology through the means of atomic proliferation, the goal of the resolution was achieved when Bhutto put India on the defensive position and promoted Pakistan as a non-proliferationist. Appointed Foreign Minister in 1963, Bhutto was a proponent of Operation Gibraltar in Kashmir, leading to war with India in 1965. It was now a stupendous task to look after such a big family, vast areas of lands spread in different Districts, faces the family opponents and the hostile administration. Khuda Bakhsh Khan had to engage several lawyers for defending Mir Murtaza. [37] Bhutto also dismissed the military chiefs on 3 March after they refused orders to suppress a major police strike in Punjab. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was bron on january 1928 in larkana. Ayub and Shastri agreed to exchange prisoners of war and withdraw respective forces to pre-war boundaries. I am not afraid of death. Coming to power in a palace coup, he secured the accession of his state to Pakistan, which was ultimately negated by Indian intervention in December 1947. By the end of 1978, these nationalist organizations were brutally quelled by Pakistan Armed Forces.[36]. East Pakistan is an inseparable and unseverable part of Pakistan".[33]. Dr. Hassan and Bhutto's arrest on 12 November 1969, sparked greater political unrest. [98] Hassan entered the dispute and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach an agreement with PNA. [59], Bhutto is credited for establishing the world class Quaid-e-Azam University and Allama Iqbal Open University in Islamabad in 1974, as well as establishing Gomal University Dera Ismail Khan in 1973. The constitution proclaimed an "Islamic Republic" in Pakistan with a parliamentary form of government. By 1974, exports exceeded one billion dollars, showing a 60% increase over the combined exports of East and West Pakistan before separation, it was achieved and benefited with world was in the midst of the major 1973 oil crisis and in the middle of global recession [citation needed] It showed that the jeep allegedly driven during the attack on Kasuri was not even in Lahore at the time. Sir Shahnawaz Khan delivered a very forceful, memorable and convincing speech for Sindh’s separation. [108] While he was transferred to a cell in Rawalpindi central jail, his family appealed on his behalf, and a hearing before the Supreme Court commenced in May. [54], Bhutto did not want to go for the western model where workers generally contribute along with the employers towards their old age benefits. Sir Bhutto understood better than anybody else that future of his family lay in education and his son Zulfikar Ali possessed all the qualities requisite for a brilliant and successful politician provided he was groomed well. He addressed the UN Sixth Committee on Aggression that October and led Pakistan's delegation to the first UN Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1958. [citation needed] He addressed the court for four days, speaking without notes. [73], In order to avoid a replay of the East-Pakistan war, Bhutto launched economic and political reforms in the midst of the conflict. He had now all the opportunities available to traverse the boundaries of Sindh politics and enter high venues and vistas, and he accomplished all these by himself without joining any All India political party. [citation needed] While the academicians listened to Bhutto carefully, Bhutto said: "Look, we're going to have the bomb". In 1976, the Bhutto government carried out the establishment of Federal Flood Commission (FFC), and was tasked to prepare national flood protection plans, and flood forecasting and research to harness floodwater. [128][failed verification], Fourth President and ninth Prime Minister of Pakistan. Bhutto founded the PPP in 1967 on a socialist platform, and contested general elections held by President Yahya Khan in 1970. Hard-line Islamist leaders such as Maulana Maududi called for the overthrow of Bhutto's regime. Five new judges were appointed, headed by Chief Justice of Lahore High Court Maulvi Mushtaq Hussain. She lived a very happy and harmonious life with Sir Bhutto and Zulfikar Ali never forget even for a moment that his mother came of humble origin and he was proud of it. [81] In 1974, Bhutto and his Foreign minister Aziz Ahmed brought a U.N. resolution, recommending and calling for the establishment of nuclear-weapon free zone in South Asia, whilst he and Aziz Ahmed aggressively attacked the Indian nuclear programme. [28], Bhutto was the country's first civilian chief martial law administrator since 1958, as well as the country's first civilian president. Jinnah to Sindh for resolving disputes between the Muslim Zamindars (landlords) of Sindh Mr. Jinnah was his guest at Larkana. [citation needed] Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark called it a mock trial fought in a Kangaroo court. Perhaps he thought that he did not deserve this treatment as he had tremendously served Sindh. The discussion was being expected to be "fruitful" until the president left for West Pakistan on the evening of March 25. [58][64] However, the growth rate of economy relative to that of the 1960s when East Pakistan was still part of Pakistan and large generous aid from the United States declined, after the global oil crises in 1973, which also had a negative impact on the economy. [63] Therefore, the Bhutto government launched programs to put the country on road to self-sufficiency in rice hulling, sugar-milling and wheat husking industries. [79], Bhutto sought a peace agreement—Simla Agreement—with Indira Gandhi, Premier of India, and brought back 93,000 P.O.Ws to Pakistan and secured 5,000 sq mi (13,000 km2) held by India without compromising on Kashmir stance or recognising Bangladesh which were the key Indian demands. [36] Both Munir Khan and Ahmed had shown their concern over on Abdul Qadeer Khan's suspected activities but Bhutto backed Khan when Bhutto maintained that: "No less than any other nation did what Abdul Qadeer Khan (is) doing; the Soviets and Chinese; the British and the French; the Indians and the Israelis; stole the nuclear weapons designs previously in the past and no one questioned them but rather tend to be quiet. However India miserably failed to justify and reconcile its contradictory and self-destructive stand on Kashmir as it was contrary to her behaviour in Junagadh. On his instructions, the police hired some notorious criminals, who attached old Khuda Bakhsh Khan on his way, while returning from his lands. 60 of 1977), The Shia Revival: How Conflicts within Islam Will Shape the Future, Cowasjee, Ardeshir (17 September 2000). [32] Soon after Bhutto's refusal and continuous resentment toward General Yahya Khan's mishandling of situation, Khan ordered Military Police to arrest Bhutto on charges of treason, quite similar to Mujib. [89] During the course of 1976 presidential election, Carter was elected as U.S. president, and his very inaugural speech Carter announced the determination to seek the ban of nuclear weapons. He is often considered one of Pakistan's greatest leaders,[12] and his party, the PPP, remains among Pakistan's largest, with his daughter Benazir Bhutto being twice elected Prime Minister,[3] while his son-in-law and Benazir's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, served as president. He was generously helped by the powerful Amir who gave all that he required to face the situation. A Scandal of the first magnitude; stating that the case was got withdrawn by Sir Shahnawaz Khan, through his tremendous political influence. It was a preemptive step, Quaid-e-Azam also had foreseen the evil Indian designs to grab Kashmir, of which, the population was overwhelmingly Muslim and Maharaja was a Hindu. Bhutto staunchly supported Beijing in the UN, and in the UNSC, while also continuing to build bridges to the United States. 690 million after-tax profits and 40,465 jobs. [82] By the 1970s, Japan completely lost its momentum in Pakistan as Pakistan followed a strict independent policy. [32] Bhutto was imprisoned in the Adiala Jail along with Mujib, where he was set to face the charges. [108] After 12 days of proceedings, the Supreme Court concluded that the President of Pakistan can change a death sentence into life imprisonment. [53] This Amendment was made in the Constitution to favour the then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who was supposed to be a friend of Bhutto. Although he came from a feudal background himself, Bhutto announced reforms limiting land ownership and a government take-over of over a million acres to distribute to landless peasants. Therefore, Ayub did not participate in the Chinese plans. It has been speculated recently in the press that Dr. Khan's uranium enrichment designs were used by the Chinese in exchange for uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and some highly enriched weapons grade uranium. [42] While at Berkeley, Bhutto witnessed the public panic when the Soviet Union first exploded their bomb, codename First Lightning in 1949, prompting the U.S. government to launch their research on 'hydrogen' bombs. The vital question of Sindh’s separation was on the agenda of the Conference. He argued that if farmers were weak and demoralised then Pakistan's agricultural strength would be fragile, believing that farmers would not feel psychologically safe unless the country achieved self-sufficiency in food. [36][40][41] Bhutto's interest in nuclear technology was said to have begun during his college years in the United States when Bhutto attended a course in political science, discussing the political impact of the U.S.'s first nuclear test, Trinity, on global politics. Kissinger told Pakistan's ambassador to Washington that the test is "a fait accompli and that Pakistan would have to learn to live with it," although he was aware this was a "little rough" on the Pakistanis. He was a good conversationalist, had charming manners and very agreeable social personality. One of the pro-Bhutto judges was due to retire in July. [37], On 8 January 1977, the opposition organized into the Pakistan National Alliance (PNA).,[37] a nine-party coalition against the government of Bhutto and his allies. Bhutto, in his book The Myth of Independence in 1969 wrote that: If Pakistan restricts or suspends her nuclear deterrence, it would not only enable India to blackmail Pakistan with her nuclear advantage, but would impose a crippling limitation on the development of Pakistan's science and technology.... Our problem in its essence, is how to obtain such a weapon in time before the crisis begin... After India's nuclear test – codename Smiling Buddha—in May 1974, Bhutto sensed and saw this test as final anticipation for Pakistan's death. The second marriage of Sir Bhutto was with a Hindu girl. [42] However, long before in 1958, as Minister for Fuel, Power, and National Resources, Bhutto played a key role in setting up the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) administrative research bodies and institutes. Bhutto was hanged at Central Jail Rawalpindi, on 4 April 1979, and was buried in Village Cemetery at Garhi Khuda Baksh. But it seems that lady luck was also smiling on Shah Nawaz Khan Bhutto, as Ghulam Muhammad Khan Bhurgri died a young man at 43 years age. [77] In 1974, Bhutto hosted the second Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1974 where he delegated and invited leaders from the Muslim world to Lahore, Punjab Province of Pakistan. During the cross-examination by the defence of witnesses, the bench often interrupted questioning. Bhutto demanded a retrial, accusing the Chief Justice of bias, after Mushtaq allegedly insulted Bhutto's home province. The police arrested Khuda Bakhsh Khan, trying to implicate him in the case. In the face of the resulting low voter turnout, the PNA declared the newly elected Bhutto government as illegitimate. [60] In 1974, with the help of Abdus Salam, Bhutto gave authorisation of the International Nathiagali Summer College on Contemporary Physics (INSC) at the Nathiagali and as even as of today, INSC conference is still held on Pakistan, where thousands of scientists from all over the world are delegated to Pakistan to interact with Pakistan's academic scientists. No doubt Rais Ghulam Muhammad Khan Bhurgri (1881-1924) was the first Muslim Barrister in Sindh and a very big landlord in lower Sindh was politically quite powerful but his politics was unpalatable to the British imperialism; the idea was however repulsive to the Sindhi Muslims as Hindus were quietly devouring the lands of Muslims and reducing them to paupers. In October 1965, as the Foreign Minister Bhutto visited Vienna, where nuclear engineer Munir Ahmad Khan working at a senior technical post at the IAEA. [123] His determined and aggressive embrace of nuclear weapons for Pakistan has made him regarded as the father of Pakistan's nuclear-deterrence programme, which he pursued in spite of Pakistan's limited financial resources and strong opposition from the United States. I can face Him with a clear conscience and tell Him that I rebuilt His Islamic State of Pakistan from ashes into a respectable Nation. [36] Bhutto did not disagree but saw an advantage in establishing another parallel programme, the uranium enrichment programme under Abdul Qadeer Khan. Bhutto advocated for the plan, but Ayub opposed the plan: he was afraid of retaliation by Indian troops. [4] Subsequent uprisings led to the secession of Bangladesh, and Pakistan losing the war against Bangladesh-allied India in 1971. [91] According to General Baber, it was an excellent idea and it had hard-hitting impact on Afghanistan. [58] This nationalisation process was not as successful as Bhutto expected. [82] His policy largely followed a tight and closer relations with China, normalised relationships with Soviet Union, built an Islamic bloc, and advocated a creation of new economical alliance largely benefiting the third and second world countries. East Pakistan broke away. [94], By 1976 Daud had become concerned about his country's over dependence on the Soviet Union and the rising insurgency. India would then carve up Pakistan into tiny states based on ethnic divisions and that would be the end of the "Pakistan problem" once and for all. [58] In Balochistan, the pernicious practice of Shishak and Sardari System was abolished. However, Iraq was not benefited with Bhutto policies. Facing inexperience for the erection work of the integrated steel mill, Bhutto requested Soviet Union to send its experts. [70] At this secret meeting, General Arif encouraged Bhutto to "rush the negotiation with the PNA, before its too late". Today is my last meeting with my Father (Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto). [88] Soviet Union sends dozens of advisors and experts, under Russian scientist Mikhail Koltokof, who supervised the construction of this integrated Steel Mills, with a number of industrial and consortium companies financing this mega-project. Bhutto's wife Nusrat Bhutto assembled a team of top Pakistani lawyers for Bhutto's defence, led by Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim, Yahya Bakhtiar and Abdulhafiz Pirzada. The other individuals of his class were indifferent to the future politics because they were unaware of its consequences, but he was wide-awake. [43] The nuclear weapons programme was set up loosely based on the Manhattan Project of the 1940s under the administrative control of Bhutto. [73] On the midnight of 9 February 1973, Bhutto launched an operation to seize control of the Iraqi Embassy, and preparation for siege was hastily prepared. [22] There, Bhutto helped Ayub negotiate trade and military agreements with the Chinese regime, which agreed to help Pakistan in several military and industrial projects.[22]. “The instrument of accession was drafted by Sir Bhutto, the shrewd Diwan of Junagadh” as stated by Stanley Wolpert. That year, Bhutto became Pakistan's youngest cabinet minister, taking up the reins of the Ministry of Commerce by President Iskander Mirza, pre-coup d'état government. Fearing yet another arrest, Bhutto named his wife, Nusrat, president of the Pakistan People's Party.
