Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto has urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to file a reference over the judicial murder of the late prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, which has been pending for the last 12 years, the24NewsHD TV channel reported on Tuesday.
He was speaking at a ceremony held to commemorate the 44th death anniversary of former Prime Minister and Pakistan People’s Party leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto at Naudero.
Bilawal Bhutto termed the “judicial murder of the first elected prime minister of Pakistan Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto” as a black spot in the justice system of the country.
He said that the nation remembered the leader of the masses, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on April 4.
Remembering Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Shaheed, Bilawal Bhutto was overwhelmed.
“When I go to the world, people ask me, are you the grandson of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto? Who is Maulvi Mushtaq and where is he, Bilawal Bhutto questioned.
He said that Bhutto's martyrdom anniversary was a day for the renewal of the pledge that the PPP would continue upholding and would not give up at any cost the democracy, the Constitution of 1973, and the parliamentary supremacy.
"Shaheed Bhutto will continue to remain the beacon of light to guide us, and we will continue to struggle to provide 'Roti, Kapra Aur Makan' (bread, cloth, and home) to every Pakistani," he pledged.
We remember Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto every day, Bilawal Bhutto maintained.
He criticized the judiciary and said that unimportant people come and they go away after pronouncing death sentences.
He said that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto gave rights to laborers and farmers and today they are remembering Bhutto Shaheed. He added that Shaheed Bibi always raised his voice for the right of the people.
