KARACHI: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders have said that 5th July will remain as a black day in the history of Pakistan when a “dictator overthrew” elected democratic government.
On a social media website Twitter, PPP parliamentary leader in the Senate Sherry Rehman pledged that her party would continue to pursue the mission and vision of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to make Pakistan a progressive and a democratic role-model Muslim country in the world.
She said: “The political ideal of our founding chairman that all political power belongs to the people has inspired and will continue to inspire generations to come”.
The PPP leader further said a conspiracy was hatched against the great leader of Islamic and Asian countries, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, on this day in the history of the country.
She further said the conspiracy was actually a conspiracy against the first democratically elected government of Pakistan.
“Pakistan went back decades with this conspiracy and under the shadow of such a dictatorship that so much has changed in 11 years”, she added.

پاکستان دھائیوں پیچھے اور ایسی آمریت کے سائے تلے کے ۱۱ سال میں اتنا کچھ بدل گیا ۔جناح کے پاکستان کا گلا گھوٹنے کی کوشش کی گئ- مگر ہم وہ شمع گل نہ ہونے دیں گے-— SenatorSherryRehman (@sherryrehman) July 5, 2020
In his messages, Adviser to Chief Minister Sindh on Information Murtaza Wahab in a statement said Pakistanis were deeply missing their beloved leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as the current internal and external situation requires a political sagacity of his caliber to handle the current affairs.
“Those who snatched Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto from us actually tried to eliminate the dream of our founding leaders about Pakistan. But wisdom, tolerance, patience and bravery of Benazir Bhutto foiled the evil designs of the perpetrators of both murders,” he said.
