The Sindh government is spending Rs 25 million on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s death anniversary, a private TV channel reported on Monday.
The notification issued by the finance department said that a sum of Rs 25 million rupees had been approved for expenditure to be incurred on 37th death anniversary of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on April 4th, 2016. The PPP-led provincial government has provided this sum of money to Larkana’s district administration for observing the PPP leader’s death anniversary. The left leaning politician and founder of PPP, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was hanged on April 4, 1979, in the Rawalpindi district jail.
Bhutto was charged with conspiring with the FSF officials to assassinate former National Assembly member Ahmad Rasa Kasuri. But in the shooting on Mr Kasuris car in Lahore on the night of November 10, 1974, Kasuri escaped unhurt while his father, Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Khan, was killed. Back in 2013, the Sindh government came under criticism for spending Rs 250 million for Sindh Festival, an event incorporating various cultural programmes including mushairas, film festival, fashion shows and music nights. Meanwhile, Chief Minister’s Advisor on Information Maula Bux Chandio instructed to hold a pictorial exhibition on occasion of 37th anniversary of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto from April 21 to April 4. The exhibition will represent the political struggles and hardships faced by Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and PPP workers who worked for democracy and historical struggle for the strong base of democratic organisations.
Waste of money. If they have done service to 'democracy', where is it ? The unfulfilled slogan of Roti. Kapra aur Makan and ended with " One of the most corrupt leaders of South Asia" tag.
