When we say “zinda hai bhutto zinda hai”, some people mock it because of their partial and narrow -minded thinking, unaware of their own absurdity. These individuals are unaware of the story. They do not know that in political history there have been several great leaders who have gained a lot of popularity, leading revolutions that changed the time course. However, history has discredited some of their political ideologies, making them politically irrelevant.

These leaders convened popular support on the basis of extremism and provocation, but the anarchy they created ended up destroying them-and their parties and supporters. They included right -wing and leftist politicians, nationalist and religious leaders and even military opportunists.

There are some political figures in the past whose ideologies continue to thrive and are very relevant today. They included right -wing and leftist politicians, nationalist and religious leaders and even military opportunists.

There are some political figures in the past whose ideologies continue to thrive and are very relevant today. It can be said that they continue to exist spatially and temporarily through their political thinking and approach. Such a leader is Shaheed Zulficar Ali Bhutto. He had a deep understanding of history and shaped his political vision based on historical experiences.

Shaheed Bhutto’s political vision rests on three basic principles. The first is that the foreign policy of a country must always prioritize the interests of its country and people. The second principle emphasizes solving basic questions internally by ensuring the rights to deprived and oppressed classes, nationalities and groups. This includes recognizing their right to resources, strengthening them financially and giving them all basic human rights, including civil freedoms.

The third fundamental principle claims that achieving the first two principles requires a long and patient democratic struggle that is peaceful, sustainable and serves as a precursor to gradual progress and victories.

The path to the democratic struggle is superior path to destructive adventure or chaos. Adventure and chaos serve interests in imperialist and anti-people forces as they deprive the population of the gains that are achieved through peaceful democratic struggle. This is why such forces always fear those who choose the way of peaceful democratic resistance and make them the goal of their oppression.

The unmatched victims of the Bhutto family together with the leaders and workers in PPP stand as evidence of this fight. PPP’s obligation to peaceful democratic resistance and victims continues today. If Pakistan today has a federal parliamentary democratic constitution, a functioning democracy and federal units with certain rights, it is due to Shaheed Bhutto and Pakistan Peoples Party that maintained his political vision.

According to Shaheed Bhutto’s vision, PPP remains a people’s representative party and continues his battle. That’s why Bhutto remains alive today.

In order to acquire a full understanding of Shaheed Bhutto’s political ideology and vision, it is necessary to read his writing, interviews and speaks in the long run. Den 30. november 1967 havde de “basale dokumenter”, som han senere var blevet ratifieret af den “basale dokumenter”, der blev skrevet, som senere blev ratifieret af de “basale dokumenter”, som han senere blev ratifieret af de “basale dokumenter”, som senere blev ratifieret af det, der senere blev ratifieret af det, der senere blev ratifieret af de, der senere blev ratifieret af de, der senere blev ratifieret Of those who were later ratified by those who were written, later had later disappeared by those written, later had later disappeared that he was later allowed to get. These documents defined the party’s most important principles: Islam as religion, democracy as a political system, socialism as economic order and the people as the final authority.

To further elaborate on these basic principles, Shaheed Bhutto wrote an extensive program for Pakistan People’s Party in April 1968. In this document he noted:

“Pakistan gets caught in a hot tub. When we look back on the last 20 years of our national lives, we see a dangerous trend that has emerged with international and subcontinental challenges. It would be unreasonable to assume that this crisis is only a routine issue in the current era or the result of a natural process. This dominant evil must be reversed.”

A learned and political leader like Shaheed Zulficar Ali Bhutto was born once a centuries. He saw situations through an international and historical lens with a deep and insightful approach rather than a superficial. When he founded Pakistan People’s Party, the global communist movement was at its highest, and socialist revolutions unfolded. However, Shaheed Bhutto looked out over the current-male forced any result of these movements.

Instead of advocating for a communist dictatorship, he certainly declared democracy as his political path-a-vision, which Socialist Says himself would adopt, but only after enduring great upheaval. He located socialism not as a political but as an economic system that managed this difference in the party’s program and basic documents.

Shaheed Bhutto had claimed that capitalism in Pakistan was clearly different from Europe’s and other developed countries. In all these nations, capitalism existed together with democracy and civil rights, while wealth in Pakistan was the wealth of the control of only 22 families using the system for their exploitative goals. These elites opposed democratic rights, foreign dictatorship and intentionally controlled industrial development. They did not run their factories with maximum capacity, prevented future industrialization and redirected state capital by means of loans and averted the establishment of jobs and drove peasants to deep poverty.

PPP’s basic documents did not oppose private investment directly, but set clear conditions for it: “Private investment will only be allowed on the principles of ability, efficiency and legitimate profits, not through the patronage of elite families or corrupt bureaucratic factions. Private investment will only be purely to the extent that the working class is a equal partner in its benefits.”

Shaheed Bhutto was a strong spokesman for socialism, but rejected the notion that it could be imposed through just orders or dictatorship. He believed that achieving a classless and socialist society, free of capitalist exploitation, required a gradual, historically controlled process. This transformation, he argued, could only be realized through democracy during a popular political program.

Another great performance of Shaheed Bhutto was not only giving Pakistan a federal parliamentary democratic system through the 1973 Constitution, but also addressing the feeling of deprivation by giving maximum autonomy to the federal units.

He also established a neutral foreign policy for Pakistan, which he elaborated in his book myth on independence. He opposed to sacrifice Pakistan’s interests for the sake of American policies and consistently spoke to stronger ties with China. However, he also emphasized that Pakistan’s national interests should remain prioritized in its relations with China.

Shaheed Bhutto provided every crisis with historically proven solution by emphasizing that people actually have power. Shaheed was a firm belief that in times of crisis it was the only way to use as a universal remedy to refer to the people. This is Bhuttoism-a idea that other ideologies have failed to surpass so far.

Unfortunately, Pakistan expelled from Bhutto’s vision. Instead of strengthening democracy, the country was drawn into the power struggles for global forces, military regimes were required, and ethnic, linguistic, regional, religious and even so -called political extremism were deliberately promoted to counter PPP. Today, Pakistan finds once again trapped in the same destructive cycle that Shaheed Bhutto warned about in his book if I murdered.

After Bhutto’s legal assault, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto performed his political philosophy and ultimately sacrificed his life to save the country from crisis. Now Bilawal Bhutto Zardari promotes this philosophy, remains true to Shaheed Bhutto’s words by forging relations with the people and adapting to their ambitions.

Shaheed Bhutto stays alive and continues to lead because he chose to die in the hands of a dictator rather than in the hands of the story. His political philosophy has stood the test of time and evidence its relevance and correctness. Given the challenges Pakistan faces today, it is imperative to turn to the vision of Shaheed Bhutto.
