Thursday, January 5th, 2012 12:47:20 by Fayyaz YaseenMessage Of Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Prime Minister Of Pakistan On 84th Birth Anniversary Of Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto
The nation is celebrating the 84th birth anniversary of Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto today. The day marks the birthday of a great leader in history of sub-continent who is known as a symbol of struggle against the forces
of exploitation, injustice and oppression. Shaheed Zulifkar Bhutto chose to sacrifice his life for the sake of principles and became immortal, while his tormentors stand condemned in the annals of history. Zulifkar Ali Bhutto is not the name of a personality
but that of a movement and ideology, which would continue to inspire and motivate people to struggle against exploitation and oppression.
After Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto was a true leader who had deep roots among the masses. His dynamic and inspiring leadership created such a political and social awareness among the masses that
paved the way for a Pakistan of the poor and common people. The way he managed the affairs of Pakistan after the Fall of Dhaka by reviving the confidence of the people does not have any parallel in the world history. He created among the broken nation a new
hope and a desire to look forward. He infused a sense of self-confidence and self-esteem among them.
Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto was a great leader of the poor. He was a kind-hearted leader and a great statesman of his times and the vagaries of time will not extinguish the fire of his memories. He changed the course of history
at a time when oppression and exploitation held sway in the country. He gave the poor their voice and a hope to live. He was a man of iron-like determination and did not cave in to ruthless dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq.
Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto took many steps of historic significance for the stability of democracy and security of the country. The continuity of democracy in Pakistan today owes itself largely to the vision and courageous leadership
of Shaheed Bhutto. His historic initiatives included the Constitution of 1973, the holding of the Islamic Summit, the launching of Pakistan’s atomic programme, establishment of RCD comprising of Pakistan, Iran and Turkey, Pakistan Steels Mills, gricultural,
industrial and administrative reforms, neutral foreign policy, Pakistan-China Boundary Agreement. The biggest contribution of Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto was to create political awareness about the importance of vote, so critical for longevity of democracy
in the country.
The present democratic government represents a continuation of the shining struggle of Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto for democracy. The ideals of Shaheed Bhutto are beacon of light for us and we would make Pakistan a moderate Islamic
welfare state in accordance with his vision.
We want to give this message to the world on this occasion that the people of Pakistan are peace-loving and democratic nation. We do not entertain any aggressive designs against anyone in the light of Shaheed Bhutto’s concept of
foreign policy. We want to have friendly relations with all the countries. We want to remind the world that Pakistan is ready to play its constructive role for establishment of peace in the world to make it a worth living place for all the people living on
this planet. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate the workers of Pakistan People’s Party.
