Bhutto’s name lives on

By Wajid Shamsul Hassan

Prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was executed in the dark of the night and rushed for burial to Garhi Khuda Bakhsh in a C-130 as much secretly as professional thieves shroud their prize catch while transporting it to its final destination. Four judges of the Supreme Court from Punjab by ordering his judicial murder (despite an unequivocal acquittal by three upright judges from the smaller provinces who saw no merit in the case of his conviction on trumped up charge of murder) had been promised pelf and power by the general to permanently silence the man who spoke for the people and fought for the rights of the exploited and downtrodden.
