It seems like Bilawal Bhutto, leader of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) is, stepping into the foot-steps of Zulfiker Ali Bhutto who once announced ‘one thousand years of jihad’ against India for annexing Jammu & Kashmir with Pakistan. The same Bhutto came to India and met the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and held a meeting at Simla which is widely known as Simla Agreement. Just before deposing Zulfikar Ali Bhutto due to ‘alleged disorder’ in the country under the leadership of Zia-Ul-Haq who proclaimed himself as the defacto leader of Pakistan who met with an air crash while flying aboard an airplane which to a section of Pakistanis believe that it was a case of sabotage. Bhutto did a favour to him and declared him a four star General superseding senior military officers. Still the General had no moral prick to arrest Bhutto and imprison him and Supreme court issued a verdict sentencing him to death. A famous work called ‘A Case of Exploding Mangoes’, a comic novel by a Pakistan journalist Muhammed Hanif secured instant fame. General Zia entered and implemented Islamic tenets in the constitution which made Pakistan an Islamic State. The laws were ruthlessly implemented by announcing Sharia laws which came into practice under which punishments were carried out to those who were alleged to have committed blasphemy which were equivalent to the punishments meted out in the Middle Ages. Mr.Bhutto was made to suffer in isolated cell for a long period and later put on trial and was sentenced to death in spite of pressures not to kill Mr.Bhutto by countries around the world especially those nations which were under democratic rule. After suffering harshly inside the isolated cell Mr.Zulfikar-Ali-Bhutto was led to the gallows and thus came to the end of an era.
His wife Nusrat Bhutto and daughter Benazir Bhutto who later married Asif-Ali-Sardari, former President of Pakistan under the banner of Pakistan Peoples’ Party. With PPP winning a comfortable victory and the new dawn of democracy shone once again but had to pay a heavy cost, ie the fateful and her violent death by the so-called ones owing allegiance to Redt General Pervez Musharraf who pumped bullets on her while she was on a whirl-wind tour of Pakistan to canvas votes in the elections. Mrs Bhutto had a premonition that murderous elements were after her and apprehended death. It was a pre-planned and pre-meditated handy work of those owing allegiance to Gen (Retd) Pervez Musharraf, it is alleged by a cross-section of Pakistanis.
With the victory of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), the Retd General Pervez Musharraf’s term as the self-declared President of Pakistan came to an end and the ‘courageous’ man fled Pakistan with his family and sought asylum in London and repeated his assertions that he would fly to his home country and join politics. Until he flew to London and Dubai All Pakistan Muslim League, the political party which he had founded was to some extent in a state of hibernation. The man however flew back to Pakistan after a prolonged period mustering courage and arrogance and on the moment he stepped down on the soil of Pakistan from the airplane he was arrested and put on house arrest. Citing many reasons, the govt under Nawaz Sherif, leader of Pakistan Muslim League (PML) filed cases against him and as of now Musharraf is in a catch-22 situation.
Bilawal Bhutto, the UK educated handsome youth on completion of his studies whose sole aim is to assume leadership of Pakistan Peoples’ Party and to make known his intention to capitalize on the situation prevailing in Pakistan, he declared in London that he was ready to fight against India to capture the Jammu and Kashmir at any cost. And to sideline other parties of Pakistan he along with his followers declared to hold ‘one million march’ to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of David Camaron, Prime Minister of Britain.
The other day while leading the march to President’s official residence, he was heckled, booed and empty plastic bottles by those belonging to various political parties of Pakistan since they were not invited to join the march alleging that he was cashing in on the situation single-handedly. Britain had however made it clear that the issue has to be solved between the two countries in a cordial atmosphere and PPP’s plea to Britain to play a third party rule was rejected.
The announcement of one million Pakistani’s march by Bilawal was nothing but a ploy to let the world come to know that he has going to be playing a pro-active role in Pakistan politics.
