Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is Assassinated

Quaid-e-Awam

He lived like a lion

Quaid-e-Awam Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Shaheed was born on January 5, 1928. Many saw him as Destiny's child. He was chosen to pick up the pieces of a demoralised Nation that had disintegrated into two.

Pakistan survived due to the leadership of a bold and courageous leader, a peoples leader, who had the vision to break the shackles of poverty to emancipate his people and lead them into a new decade of glory, strength and achievement.

Quaid-e-Awam gave to Pakistan a unanimous, democratic and Islamic constitution with provincial autonomy and human rights. This was the first constitution to recognise human rights of the people of Pakistan. Today human rights has become a major issue internationally. Without it the dignity of humanity is compromised and the soul of a society destroyed.

For Quaid-e-Awam, politics was in his blood. Politics was a romance for him from the days of his youth. As an inquisitive student he showed unflinching commitment toward Quaid-e-Azam's demand for Pakistan. Quaid-e-Awam saw himself as a "soldier of Islam". Not in the way of the religious fanatics who use religion to justify terror and dictatorship. He saw himself as a "soldier of Islam in terms of serving the Muslim Ummah through freedom and the rule of law as well as a combined Muslim community. He believed that Islam's unity came through the unity of the Muslim community built on the principles of a common market and a common defense. In this way, he was the forefather of the concept which today sees the birth of the European Union, the Gulf Countries Cooperation and the South Asian Regional Countries Association..........
