This book, My Pakistan, is based on the Constitutional Petition filed in
the Lahore High Court on the 6th March, 1978 against the illegal and
improper detention of the late Mr. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (former Prime Minister
of Pakistan). It is by way of a rejoinder to the allegations made in the
material placed before the Court by the military regime of General Zia ul
Haque.
This is the most important political document which will form a
valuable portion of the political history of Pakistan. The 100-page foolscap
material, written by Mr. Z. A. Bhutto himself, was smuggled out of Pakistan
into London.
The Foreword has been written by Mr. Mir Murtaza Bhutto, eldest son
of Mr. Bhutto. The post-hanging commentary on the events under the
caption Nation-Builder, the chapter of Murder of a Trial, and Begum
Nusrat Bhuttos letter to Justice Anwar ul Haque, have made this book both
interesting and informative. The publication of this book is still banned in
Pakistan.
The former President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, the late Mr.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, has given his own account and has exposed the designs
of General Zia ul Haques Military Junta in overthrowing his constitutional
government. In his petition he has described his detention as unlawful and
mala fide. He has smashed the Pandoras Box and has exposed the
hollowness and depravity of the charges made against him. Mr. Bhutto has
maintained that it was a part of a very big game and he was made a victim
of a global conspiracy. In order to acquire this objective, false, malicious, and
most unfair allegations were made against him. The conspiracy was hatched
and carried out against him because he refused to compromise on his
countrys vital interests. Mr. Bhutto has wondered how two pages of perverse
report has been made to wipe out his whole chronicle of unparalleled and
unmatched contribution to Pakistan and its people. He has exposed the
present rulers, Maulana Maudoodi and his lieutenants, Wali Khan, Brohi and
others, who were basically opposed to the creation of Pakistan itself.
