DEPALPUR : Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said on Sunday that execution of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) was a blunder of history, that is why the PPP government has filed a reference in the court to correct the history. Addressing the public meeting after the inauguration of sub-campus of the Agriculture University, development package and development projects worth Rs 170 million here, he said that the person who gave the Constitution to the country and self-respect to the people, could not be a murderer.He said certain people who talk about weakening of PPP, should know that PPP had not weakened rather it has further strengthened.
The incumbent government restored the Constitution in its original form, in line with mission of people’s leader and BB Shaheed due to which the institutions had strengthened in the country, he added.
The Prime Minister said that PPP was the name of an ideology, spirit and mission and this mission was of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
He said the PPP believed in empowering people and provision of their rights and for this purpose, both the father and daughter sacrificed their lives.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto could have made a deal with dictator, but he preferred to sacrifice his life rather than bowing before the dictator, he added.
The PM said that Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed faced the dictator bravely and fought for the rights of people, adding that she was even barred from coming home and hence she was martyred in reprisal for the protection of people’s rights. APP
