Mir Murtaza Bhutto PREFACE This book is based on the events, news reports, and enquiries right after the unfortunate murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto. I have collected this information from different sources including leading English, Urdu and Sindhi newspapers, different magazines and some web sites. The part that I have tried to cover is mostly the few months’ right after the murder. You will see some very conflicting statements issued by the police officers and the contradiction between their statements given to different media personal at different occasions and the change in their statements before the tribunals. There is no doubt in any one’s mind that Bhutto family, who has served the natoion most, was eliminated by conspricy. Shaheed Mir Murtaza was the third victim of this conspricy. His eldest sister Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, the only ray of hope of the demoralized Pakistani nation was also murdered in December 2007. I will leave upto the reader to make the judgement on who was behind the murder of Bhuttos and who would benefit from eliminating Bhuttos. Even though I have tried to put the events in chronological order but you may find some events out of order and you may also find some grammatical errors because while translating either from Urdu or Sindhi I tried to keep the theme of the news in place. Please feel free to send me your comments to add in the next edition of this book. Sani H. Panhwar 4128 W. 163rd Street Lawndale, CA 90260 [email protected] Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 2 MURTAZA BHUTTO Like his elder sister, Benazir, Murtaza Bhutto was a novice to active politics until 1978 when his father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was sentenced to death by the Lahore High Court. In the span of 15 years, however, Murtaza has managed to gain considerable notoriety for a brand of politics that has moved in diametrically opposing direction to Benazir’s. Born in Karachi on September 18, 1954, Mir Murtaza received his early education at St. Mary’s School, Rawalpindi. He later passed his ‘O’ levels from the Karachi Grammar School in 1971. In 1972, Murtaza went off to Harvard University where he studied Government, specialising in strategic studies. He graduated with honours in 1976, and his thesis was entitled “Modicum of Harmony” which dealt with the spread of nuclear weapons in general, and the implications of India’s nuclear capability for Pakistan in particular. Murtaza went on to Christ Church College Oxford, his father’s alma mater, for a three-year course to read for an M.Lit. degree. But the death penalty awarded to his father in 1978 seriously disrupted his studies. Murtaza was on the verge of rushing home when he received a message from his father asking him to remain abroad where he could mobilise an international campaign for his release. Murtaza had been present in Pakistan when Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s government was overthrown on July 5, 1977. Along with other family members, Murtaza had returned to Al-Murtaza, Larkana, and at the time was busy helping in the preparations for the elections schedule for October 1977. But on September 16, 1977 when Bhutto was arrested from Al-Murtaza, he ordered his son to leave the country. After Bhutto was sentenced, Murtaza joined hands with his brother the late Shahnawaz Bhutto, to initiate a campaign to muster international support to revoke the death penalty looming over his father’s head. Leaders from Syria, Libya, and the PLO were particularly supportive. Mercy appeals were sent by several heads of state to General Ziaul Haq which failed, however, to sway his decision. Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 3 Murtaza and Shahnawaz both cut short their respective educations and decided to devote themselves to avenge their father’s death. Eventually they resorted to taking up arms, their main target being General Ziaul Haq. This marked the beginning of a new and more controversial era in Murtaza’s life. The Al-Zulfikar Organization (AZO) was born at this point, and disgruntled elements among the younger members of the PPP, disappointed in the party’s leadership, flocked to Murtaza’s side. The AZO, however, went on to earn the terrorist charge, a label which has dogged Murtaza ever since. For his part, he has always denied the charge that he espouses the politics of terrorism. “Why is the AZO called a terrorist organisation? Why are we blamed for treason or sedition? What General Zia did to the constitution and to the elected prime minister of the country was real treason. What we did was something that every patriotic Pakistan should do in order to safeguard the interest of the country,” Murtaza maintains. The most controversial episode of Murtaza’s career was the hijacking of PIA airliner by AZO activists, which resulted in the death of a passenger. Murtaza still faces a murder charge on this count. From 1981, Mir Murtaza has spent most of his time in Damascus. Earlier, in the early ‘80s, he was based in Kabul and then in Libya. With the mysterious death of Shahnawaz Bhutto in Paris in 1985, Murtaza Bhutto was left alone to carry on the struggle. During this period, his sister’s politics had drifted further away from Murtaza’s. The PPP, meanwhile, remained forever under the shadow of being labelled a terrorist party, and many of its activists were arrested and hounded for their alleged links with the AZO. Over the years, the PPP has moved steadily towards the center, coming to power once again, being unceremoniously ousted and making yet another bid for government again, but this time with a less hostile establishment breathing down its neck than ever before. Murtaza has stayed away from Pakistan for the last 16 years dring which time his name has been closely associated with the AZO. Murtaza now claims that the AZO has been disbanded and it remains to be seen what new role he will take in the machiavellian politics of the ‘90s. Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 4 In this exclusive interview with the Herald, conducted long distance over the telephone, Murtaza Bhutto finally breaks his silence about his plans to return to Pakistan, criticises the line the PPP leadership has taken in recent years, reveals his decision to focus his attention on Sindh and vehemently denies charges of being a pawn in the hands of the intelligence agencies... Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 5 The Tragic Death of Murtaza Bhutto On the night of Thursday 19th September 1996, the estranged brother of Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, and the only surviving son of the Martyred Lion of Sindh Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Mir Murtaza Bhutto was shot dead along with 6 other party activists in a police encounter near his residence. Among the dead was Aashiq Jatoi, the acting provincial chief of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (Shaheed Bhutto Group). He was a brother in-law of Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan. The injured list included six Party activists of Murtaza Bhutto’s party and three policemen, including additional Superintendent of Police of Saddar area of Karachi and two other station house officers. Just before his death Mir Murtaza Bhutto, 42, had slammed the government, warning it not to arrest him without warrant. “There would be trouble if the Police try to arrest me without a warrant,” he had declared. Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto rushed to the city when told about the encounter. Begum Nusrat, mother of Murtaza, was in London. As expected the version of the encounter given by the injured party activists and the polce widely differed. The police earlier claimed that they reached the residence of Murtaza Bhutto, 70 Clifton, at 8:30pm, to arrest him. The policemen alleged that the security guards belonging to Murtaza, stationed at his house, opened fire, injuring several policemen. The fire was returned by the police party, which caused fatal injuries to the Prime Minister’s brother and his supporters. Sources said that after the incident the Rangers again cordoned off the area and searched the house number 70 Clifton. Murtaza was sought by the police on the charge of inciting attacks on two CIA Centers on Tuesday where it was thought that his party activist Ali Sunara was detained. A Sindh government handout issued late in the night said that Murtaza Bhutto s vehicle was allowed to proceed to his residence by the SHO Clifton after it was stopped. The gunmen of Mir Murtaza Bhutto sitting on the land Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 6 cruiser vehicle resorted to indiscriminate firing injuring the ASP Saddar, SHO Clifton and a person in a taxi on the spot. Mir Murtaza Bhutto’s gunmen sitting in his vehicle also started firing straight at the police. The police under the command of ASP Drakshan and ASP Saddar retaliated in self-defence and after an encounter of 20 to 25 minutes, took control of the situation. On the other hand Dr. Mazhar Memon Senior Vice President of the party’s Hyderabad Division blamed the police for opening fire on Mir Murtaza Bhutto without any provocation. “We were returning from a public meeting at Surjani Town, District West of Karachi, when the police and Rangers stopped near the 70 Clifton,” Dr. Memon told at the JPMC casualty Department. He said that Mir Murtaza Bhutto came out of the car to talk with the official. The policemen suddenly opened fire on Murtaza, seriously injuring him. Dr Memon said, “I also came out of the vehicle to help my injured leader who was on the ground and I received a bullet on my leg.” Dr Memon added that when Murtaza’s guards saw him on the ground in a pool of blood, they rushed out and opened fire on the police.

  • Pakistan: Death Plot Against Human Rights Lawyer, Asma Jahangir
    UA: 164/12 Index: ASA 33/008/2012 Pakistan Date: 7 June 2012 URGENT ACTION DEATH PLOT AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER Leading human rights lawyer and activist Asma Jahangir fears for her life, having just learned of a plot by Pakistan’s security forces to kill her. Killings of human rights defenders have increased over the last year, many of which implicate Pakistan’s Inter- Service Intelligence agency (ISI). On 4 June, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) alerted Amnesty International to information it had received of a plot by Pakistan’s security forces to kill HRCP founder and human rights lawyer Asma Jahangir. As Pakistan’s leading human rights defender, Asma Jahangir has been threatened many times before. However news of the plot to kill her is altogether different. The information available does not appear to have been intentionally circulated as means of intimidation, but leaked from within Pakistan’s security apparatus. Because of this, Asma Jahangir believes the information is highly credible and has therefore not moved from her home. Please write immediately in English, Urdu, or your own language, calling on the Pakistan authorities to: Immediately provide effective security to Asma Jahangir. Promptly conduct a full investigation into alleged plot to kill her, including all individuals and institutions suspected of being involved, including the Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Bring to justice all suspected perpetrators of attacks on human rights defenders, in trials that meet international fair trial standards and

  • Pakistan: Arrival and Departure
    01-2180-2 CH 01:0545-1 10/13/11 10:47 AM Page 1 stephen p. cohen 1 Pakistan: Arrival and Departure How did Pakistan arrive at its present juncture? Pakistan was originally intended by its great leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, to transform the lives of British Indian Muslims by providing them a homeland sheltered from Hindu oppression. It did so for some, although they amounted to less than half of the Indian subcontinent’s total number of Muslims. The north Indian Muslim middle class that spearheaded the Pakistan movement found itself united with many Muslims who had been less than enthusiastic about forming Pak- istan, and some were hostile to the idea of an explicitly Islamic state. Pakistan was created on August 14, 1947, but in a decade self-styled field marshal Ayub Khan had replaced its shaky democratic political order with military-guided democracy, a market-oriented economy, and little effective investment in welfare or education. The Ayub experiment faltered, in part because of an unsuccessful war with India in 1965, and Ayub was replaced by another general, Yahya Khan, who could not manage the growing chaos. East Pakistan went into revolt, and with India’s assistance, the old Pakistan was bro- ken up with the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. The second attempt to transform Pakistan was short-lived. It was led by the charismatic Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who simultaneously tried to gain control over the military, diversify Pakistan’s foreign and security policy, build a nuclear weapon, and introduce an economic order based on both Islam and socialism.
