While addressing to the workers, Haji Mohammad Gulzar Awan said Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was one of the rare political leaders who had natural instinct and broad vision to read the political situation vigilantly.” Bhutto’s shrewdness and farsightedness led Pakistan towards the successful Nuclear Programme. The pursuit of Nuclear Technology created hype in the political world especially in sub-continental region”, he added.

He said ZA Bhutto laid down his life to make the defence of Pakistan impregnable and all the major designs for Pakistan’s Nuclear Programme were made by Bhutto, which gave invincibility to Pakistan’s defence.

He said Bhutto was the most towering political personality of our history who demonstrated immense courage in taking initiatives, during his regime, to strike at the roots of a hackneyed system that was based on exploitation of the people by handful elites. “It was Z.A. Bhutto who overhauled the system through drastic changes and wanted to make Pakistan a progressive and set socio-economic justice and an egalitarian society’, he mentioned. He further said Pakistan People’s Party was a major political movement in our history which continued to sustain itself despite conspiracies and repression practiced by dictatorial regimes. He said even today, shaheed Bhutto and his revolutionary programme are the major reference of commitment to pro-people ideals.

The other speakers paid glowing tributes to ZA Bhutto and said their great leader was one of the most charismatic and renowned politicians in the history of Pakistan. They pledged to continue Bhutto’s struggle to pull the country out of multiple problems that halted the way of progress of peoples of Pakistan.
