In this connection, the Pakistan Peoples Party has organized functions at the district headquarters level across the country.
The main ceremony will be held at the mausoleum of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto at Gharhi Khuda Bux near Naudero in Larkana.
Quran Khawani and fateha khawani will also be held across country for departed soul of Shaheed Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
The Sindh government has declared a public holiday today (April 4).
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was handed a death sentence during former military ruler General (retired) Ziaul Haq’s regime.
The first elected prime minister of the country was charged with the murder of a political rival, Nawab Mohammed Ahmed Qasuri, and a trial took place.
Amid petitions and appeals of clemency and mercy from several Heads of state, Bhutto was hanged on April 4, 1979.
President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to former Prime Minister and Pakistan Peoples Party founder late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto for his services, struggles, and sacrifices, and vowed to carry forward his mission of making Pakistan a developed, sovereign, and people-friendly country.
The president, in his message on the 46th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to be observed on Friday (April 4), reiterated his resolve to take every possible step to protect Pakistan’s sovereignty, democracy, and the people’s rights.
Remembering him as a great statesman, a courageous leader, and the true representative of the people, the president said that the late Bhutto set Pakistan on the path of development, sovereignty, and public welfare.
“Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave the nation its first unanimous constitution, laid the foundation of Pakistan’s nuclear program, and gave the country’s foreign policy an independent and sovereign identity,” President Zardari remarked.
He said that under Bhutto’s leadership, Pakistan hosted the Islamic Summit Conference, paving the way for the unity of the Muslim Ummah.
The president also lauded Shaheed Bhutto’s empowerment of workers, farmers, and the underprivileged by granting them their due rights. Besides, the country achieved significant progress in the fields of education, industry, and defense, consequent to the efforts of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, he added.
