The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on Sunday adopted a resolution demanding the federal government to declare party founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a national democratic hero and feature his image on currency notes.
The resolution was passed during a seminar titled ‘Bhutto Reference and History’, discussing Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s reference.
Lauding the Supreme Court’s admission that the PPP founder’s trial, which led to his execution, was unfair, the resolution demanded the federal government to confer the title of “Quaid-e-Awam” (Leader of the People) upon him and award him the highest civilian honor, Nishan-e-Pakistan.
Apart from demanding the featuring of Bhutto’s image on currency notes, the resolution also called for the construction of a befitting monument in Bhutto’s honor and the declaration of his mausoleum as a national shrine.
Furthermore, it calls for the reversal of the unjust death sentence handed down to Bhutto and the establishment of a “Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Award” for democracy activists who have sacrificed their lives for the cause.
