Today even Zia’s children and his political heirs and partners in crime (NS, Qazi etc) are affraid to link themselves with his name. This is the legacy of a dictator.

I think Arian community of Lahore is fedup with Nawaz Sharif and his arrogance. They are being pushed to PPP. I think it is a good start to widen PPP’s vote bank in Lahore.
....
Hameed Gul’s reference make no sense. He is a sworn enemy of PPP. He is person who created IJI and supplied money to Sharifs anf Qazis to run a joint election campaign against PPP. Being head of ISI this guy presided the first meeting of IJI. He even awarded tickets to IJI candidates and manipulated the election results in Punjab to give IJI lead in Punjab assembly just few days after it lost in Punjab in National elections. He is bigger criminal than any other general in Pakistan.
Can he be believed. How was not in a position to become a shoe polisher of Bhutto in Ayub days.
Ziaists are very good in lies like their dictator peer.
...
I am neither too old not too young. fortunately I saw Shaheed Bhutto’s time as a young student and saw the cruel face of Ziaists. My family was not a Bhutto fan but I became a big fan of Bhutto after I witnessed the shameless atrocvities committed by Zia and his partners in crime in particular Jamaat Islami.
I do remember a lot. But unfortunately most of anti-Bhutto members of this forum don’t even remember that pl of Pakistan rejected the boycott call of elections just 11 months ago. I don’t expectr U to remember what Nawaz Sharif used to say about Justice Iftikhar till March 8, 2007 and what Imran Khan used to say about Mush till he dumped him in 2002.

Bhuttoism - By Dr. Farid A. Malik
By DR FARID A. MALIK September 12, 2008
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) emerged on the political horizon as a member of the Iskander Mirza cabinet. Since then there was no looking back. He was young and charismatic. After the fall of Mirza's presidency he continued as a federal minister in the regime of General Ayub Khan. He gained popularity as foreign minister when he established closed links with the revolutionary government of China headed by Mao Tse Tung and Chou-en-Lai.
After 1965 war and Tashkent debacle ZAB left the Ayub regime to start his own political party, PPP. His manifesto was based on: Islam, democracy, social equality and people's power. As founder chairman he went to every corner of the country to build a cadre of committed workers. Ayub's celebration of the 'decade of progress' triggered countrywide anti-establishment movement. The dictatorial polices of the dictator had clearly drawn the lines between haves and have-nots. ZAB rallied the outcasts of the Ayub Empire. His message was clearly understood across the country. It was the birth of Bhuttoism which stood for the emancipation of the masses and self-reliance of the nation. For the first time the people of Pakistan were exposed to the corridors of power which till then was the sole domain of the establishment.
The 1973 constitution - a hallmark of the Bhutto era - has laid down certain parameters for public welfare. Literacy was declared a right of the citizen which the state was required to provide. Unfortunately, instead of providing literacy the government of Zia issued an ordinance to remove the time limit forcing the people remain illiterate.
Providing employment has always been the cornerstone of Bhuttoism. During ZAB's regime huge public sector programmes were launched which were need driven and also provided jobs for the youth. Today there is no career planning for a swelling unemployed youth population. PPP governments have often been blamed for over staffing public corporations and decreasing their efficiency.
However, Pakistan is blessed with a huge youth population that can be gainfully employed for nation building but no one has focused on their future. Many young people leave to serve foreign lands. Even approved vacancies are not filled in government departments. As a nation we have become insensitive to our own younger generation which is our asset. Over staffing is not the answer but unemployment is also a scourge that must be addressed. Establishment governments ignore this national requirement for vested institutional interests, while Bhuttoism places a burden on the rulers to provide gainful employment to the masses at times even at the cost of the public sector enterprises.
Bhuttoism as it had penetrated deep into the masses it is this pro-people philosophy that keeps his party alive.
Democracy, technology and meaningful education are the gifts of the western civilisation in the 21st century. Most Islamic countries are devoid of these virtues. ZAB combined all three of them with Islam in forging a Modern Islamic Democracy with major focus on technology and advanced skills.
Bhuttoism has survived for over four decades and will not vanish till the people of Pakistan achieve their cherished goals. Then there can be a transition to a real free enterprise or capitalism. The basics have to be covered; no citizen can be left out. Constitutional requirements have to be met.
The resignation of General Pervez Musharraf is no small event. Bhuttoism has prevailed again. Asif Zardari has been elected president on the Bhutto mandate. Now he has to deliver. ZAB style of governance can produce results. Professionals have to be brought back and the baboos and khakis contained. Personal loyalties and friendships cannot get the job done. Bhuttoism is not limited to political rallies and mobilisation of masses only.
ZAB derived strength from the awami mandate to take on the baboos and khakis to deliver on his manifesto of change. Governance was always an important component of Bhuttoism that will ultimately drive the establishment out from the corridors of power. The transition has begun and combined with the doctrine of Bhuttoism the peoples power will prevail for progressive and democratic Pakistan.

and they only think Bhuttos mean a race or a clan. but the fact is contrary to it.
the fact is in the eyes of PPP Voters ZARDARI and his Sister Firyal TALPUR are Bhuttos while Mumtaz, Ghanwa, Fatmah, and Zulfiqar Junior are NOT Bhuttos.
so being Bhutto is not being of a Bhutto clan but it is something of character, sacrifice, commitment and standings.
but Bhutto haters, right wingers, products of the ISI and General Zia will never understand as their hearts and minds are locked by the Mullahs and jihadis.

@democrat,
“zerdari is elected president of pakistan,we all should respect him,second he is entitled to govern his own way,if u dont like his policies,its fine,vote him out in next eletions but dont try to derail democray,……..”
They are as democratic as Zia. their justice is justice of Zia. They can worship even Shaitan as far as he promise to kill Bhuttos.
Their democracy is selective
Their justice is selective
They never respected democratic mandate in the past they will never accept it in future.
A year ago they were asking for head of Shaheed BB
Now they r repeatedly calling for killing of President zardari and Balawal. But they don’t know that Bhuttos like Egyptian phoenix are reborn from their own ashes. Tum Kitnay Bhutto Maaro gay?
