LAHORE: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has accused that the then judges of the superior courts were the killers of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
He was addressing a ceremony arranged by the LHC Bar Association and held at the Javed Iqbal Auditorium in the Lahore High Court in connection with 50th Golden Jubilee of the Constitution of Pakistan on Tuesday.
Bilawal said that it is generally believed that the murderer always comes back to the crime scene, but our (Bhutto family’s) two affected generations have been coming to the Lahore High Court to seek justice. “It was a judicial murder and we are still looking at this Lahore High Court as a crime scene,” said Zulfikar Bhutto’s grandson maintained.
The PPP chairman said: “We hope that after so many years, the courts will not only correct the mistake according to the law, but also correct the history, the judges will wash the blood stains of their hands”.
He said that he is grateful to all the judges, including Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa that the reference sent by former president Zardari 12 years ago is being heard and he hopes that after so many years, the Leader of the People would get justice.
He said that there is polarization in politics in Pakistan at the moment. He was of the view that we should bury the old-styled politics of hatred.
Bilawal said, “We consider it our success to send each other to jails. By abusing each other, we are doing politics. Some people want to become Amirul Momineen and some others want to run the country with Tiger Force.”
Referring to the founder of PTI, the PPP scion said: “The ex-PTI chairman used to say that he would commit suicide, but would never join hands with thieves. Political differences should remain political. We have turned politics into enmity in the country. The founder of PTI introduced the politics of vengeance and division.”
Bilawal said that the economic crisis which is engulfing the country right now has never been seen before. He said that the economic teams that came after the PTI government could not control the crisis. But, at the same time, the young leader expressed his optimism that if not today then tomorrow ‘we will get out of this problem’.
Bilawal Bhutto said that Palestinians are facing aggression nowadays. He said that the Quaid-e-Awam (Zulfikar Ali Bhutto) tried to unite the Muslim Ummah. He said when ZAB was the country’s prime minister, he summoned the OIC meeting in which it was decided to impose an oil embargo on the West in order to stop the Palestinian people’s repression by Israel.
