Bhutto is alive!

#Bhutto #alive

When we say “Bhutto is alive”, some people make fun of him because of his discriminatory and narrow -minded thinking, who are ignorant of their zeal. These people are unaware of history. They do not know that there are many great leaders in political history who have gained a lot of popularity, led the revolutions that have changed over time. However, history has defamed some of his political views, and declared them politically irrelevant.

These leaders staged a rally on the basis of extremism and provocation, but the chaos they created were destroyed and their parties and followers ended. They included right -wing politicians, nationalist and religious leaders, and even military opportunists.

In the past there are some political figures whose ideas continue to develop and are very related today. They included right -wing politicians, nationalist and religious leaders, and even military opportunists. It can be said that they are present local and timely through their political thinking and point of view. One such leader is Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. It gained a deep understanding of history and formed its political vision based on historical experiences.

The political vision of Shaheed Bhutto is based on three basic principles. First, the foreign policy of a nation should always give priority to the interests of our country and the people. The second emphasizes to solve basic issues internally by ensuring the rights of the deprived and oppressed classes, nationalities and groups. This includes recognizing their rights of resources, strengthening them economically, and giving all basic human rights, including civil liberties.

The third principle emphasizes that a long and patient democratic struggle is needed to achieve the first two principles. It is a peaceful, sustainable and acts as a forerunner of gradual growth and victories.

The path of democratic struggle is superior to destructive adventures or chaos. Adventures and chaos fulfill the interests of the imperialist and opposition forces, as they deprive people of the benefits achieved through a peaceful democratic struggle. That is why such forces are always afraid of people who choose the path of peaceful democratic resistance and target them.

The unprecedented sacrifices of the Bhutto family with PPP leaders and workers stand as evidence of this struggle. PPP commitment to peaceful democratic resistance and sacrifice continues to this day. If today is a federal parliamentary democratic constitution of Pakistan, which is a working democracy and a federal unit with some rights, then this is due to Shaheed Bhutto and the Pakistan Peoples Party, which has maintained their political vision.

According to Shaheed Bhutto’s vision, the PPP has become a representative party of the people and continues its struggle. That is why Bhutto is alive today. It is important to read, his writing, interviews and speeches in length to seek the full definition of Shaheed Bhutto’s political ideology and vision.

On November 30, 1967, at the inaugural session of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto presented “basic documents”, he wrote, which was later endorsed by the party. These documents have praised the party’s key expert statement: Islam as a religion, democracy as a political system, as an economic management and the public as the ultimate authority.

To give more details on these basic principles, Shahid Bhutto wrote a comprehensive program for the Pakistan Peoples Party in April 1968. In this document, he remarked: “Pakistan is caught in a whirlpool. When we look at the last 20 years of our national life, this is a dangerous trend that has arisen along the international and substantial challenge. The current problem or the result of a natural process.

A scholar and political leader such as Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was born once in the centuries. He looked at the situation with a deep and insightful approach through an international and historical lens, rather than a level. When it founded the Pakistan Peoples Party, the World Communist movement was at its peak, and the socialist revolutions were coming out.

However, Shahid Bhutto looked beyond the present – he predicts the final results of these movements. Instead of advocating for Communist dictatorship, he strongly termed democracy as his political path – a vision that would adopt the socialist states itself, but only after tolerating the fluctuations. He presents socialism as politically but as an economic system, illustrates this difference between party programs and founding documents.

Shaheed Bhutto claimed the capitalist system in Pakistan that it was quite different from Europe and other developed countries. In all these countries, capitalism was in conjunction with democracy and civil rights, while in Pakistan, wealth was under the control of only 22 families who used this system to exploit.

These elites resisted democratic rights, promoted dictatorship and deliberately examined industrial development. They did not run their factories with maximum capacity, obstructed being industrial in the future and turned the state capital through loans, and stopped the creation of jobs and attracted farmers to deep poverty.

PPP’s basic documents did not oppose private investment, but clear conditions for this: “Private investment will be allowed only on the principles of competence, performance and legitimate profitability, not the elite’s families or the corrupt bureaucratic factions, only by the benefit of the private investment.”

Shaheed Bhutto was a staunch supporter of socialism, but rejected the idea that it could be imposed only by orders or dictatorship. He believes that in order to achieve a class and socialist society, free from capitalist exploitation, a gradual, historical guide process is needed. He said that this change can be felt through democracy only under a public -based political program.

Another major achievement of Shaheed Bhutto was not only providing the federal parliamentary democratic system to Pakistan through the 1973 constitution, but also solved the feeling of deprivation by giving maximum independence to federal units.

He also established a neutral foreign policy for Pakistan, which he explained in his book “Fiction Freedom”. He opposed the sacrifice of Pakistan’s interests for US policies, and permanently advocated strong ties with China. However, he should also prefer Pakistan’s national interests in his relations with China.

Shaheed Bhutto provided a historically proven solution to every crisis to emphasize the emphasis on people. The martyr believed firmly, because at the time of the crisis, there was the only way to use people as a cure for referring to people. This is Bhuttoism. It is believed that other ideas have failed to move forward so far.

Unfortunately, Pakistan went astray from Bhutto’s vision. Instead of strengthening democracy, the country was attracted to the struggle for the power of world powers, military governments were imposed, and the so -called political extremism was deliberately promoted to counter the PPP.

Today, Pakistan is once again caught in the devastating cycle that Shaheed Bhutto warned in his book “If I have been killed”. After Bhutto’s judicial murder, Shaheed Benzir Bhutto put his political philosophy forward, and eventually sacrificed his life to save the country from the crisis. Now, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is pushing this philosophy, keeping in connecting with people by Shahid Bhutto’s words and aligning himself with his wishes.

Shaheed Bhutto is alive and continues his guidance as he chose to die by an dictator instead of the hands of history. His political philosophy stands on the test of time, which proved its compatibility and accuracy. In view of the challenges facing Pakistan today, it is important to turn to the vision of Shaheed Bhutto once again.
