PPP Calls for Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s Image to be Featured on Pakistani Currency

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has recently made a significant move to honor the legacy of its founder, the late Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. The party has passed a resolution demanding the federal government to recognize Bhutto as a national democratic hero and to feature his image on the country’s currency notes.

This resolution was adopted during a seminar titled ‘Bhutto Reference and History’, which focused on discussing Bhutto’s contributions to the nation. The party also proposed posthumously bestowing upon him the title of Quaid-e-Awam (leader of the masses) and awarding him the highest civilian honor, Nishan-e-Pakistan.

The resolution further praised the Supreme Court’s acknowledgment that Bhutto’s trial, which led to his execution, was unjust. In addition to the call for Bhutto’s image on currency, the resolution suggested the construction of a monument in his honor and the designation of his mausoleum as a national shrine.

The PPP also advocated for the reversal of the unjust death sentence handed down to Bhutto and proposed the establishment of a Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Award for democracy activists who have made significant sacrifices for the cause.

Bhutto, one of Pakistan’s most popular leaders, was executed during the regime of former military ruler General ® Ziaul Haq. He was charged with the murder of a political rival, Nawab Mohammed Ahmed Qasuri.
