Bhutto: A leader with difference



                                 

Bhutto: A leader with difference

He came; he managed and out maneuvered all. Old guards, stinky ideologues, rotten speakers, all proved rates. He neither joined secular nationalist NAP nor drifted towards religio political parties like Jamat e Islami, JUI or JUP but carved his own Party, PPP.
In the 2nd half of 1960s he started people’s politics. It was a time when Nawab of Kalabagh was ruling West Pakistan, NAP was divided in numerous groups and Jamat e Islami was ready to join bandwagon of Yahya Khan with an assumption for ride in power. In Such circumstances Bhutto founded his party neither in his home town, Larkano nor in power centers like Karachi or Islamabad but in Lhore.
Bhutto founded the first political government in Pakistan which emerged after wining 1970 election. Those were the first ever election at federal level held under adult franchise. No doubt, his party was new and did many mistakes too yet it was his credit to give first almost consensus constitution; a service which raised him on to the status of Abraham Lincoln or Atta Turk   yet it was not acceptable to non elected elite nor his political rivals.
Today is his 35th death anniversary and in 2014, we can analyze all the 4 military governments. Not a single military rule came due to mistakes of politicians but those acts were product of power hungry Generals who used it to fitful their personal interests.   
Zia hanged Bhutto in 1979 yet non elected elite could not stop press freedom, rule by elected tier and democratic continuity. Bhutto’s hanging politicized Pakistani society like a catalyst.

ذوالفقار علی بھٹو (پیدائش: 5 جنوری 1928ء، پھانسی: 4 اپریل 1979ء)

 کم ازکم آج 2014 ء میں یہ بات کہی جا سکتی ہے کہ پاکستان میں آنے والے چاروں مارشل لاء سیاستدانوں کے غلط کاموں کے خلاف نہیں بلکہ اقتدار کی ہوس اور اداروں کی آڑ میں ذاتی مفادات کی تکمیل کے لیے لگائے گئے تھے۔ بھٹو کا بذریعہ عدالت قتل بھی انھی مفادات کے تحت کیا گیا اک قابل مذمت اقدام تھا، مگر کیا منتخب اداروں کی تکریم، عدلیہ اور میڈیا کی آزادی اور جمہوری تسلسل کو روکا جا سکا۔ بس 4 اپریل اسی بات کو یاد رکھنے کا استعارہ ہے کہ آج جس جمہوری بندوبست میں ہم رہ رہے ہیں ،اس کے لیے جو بہت سی قربانیاں دی گئیں ہیں، ان میں ایک نمایاں ترین مثل ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کی ہے
------------------------
ذوالفقار علی بھٹو نے اس ملک کو پہلا متفقہ آئین دیا کہ یہ تحفہ ہے، جس پر انھیں ابراہیم لنکن اور اتاترک قرار دیا جا سکتا تھا، مگر سیاستدانوں کی اس قدر تکریم بڑوں کی ’’وارا‘‘ نہیں کھاتی تھی۔
