they did not hang him. They murdered him. I don’t agree with those, no matter who they are, who say that he was hanged. Somebody from the jail whispered into my ears that he had been murdered. Q. How would Mr. Bhutto call you? A. He would say Nusratam (my Nusrat) in Persian. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Recollections and Remembrances; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 21
A HAPPY MAN ALWAYS Ameer Begum We passed our childhood clays together and I was engaged at the age of 25 with Shaheed Bhutto. Every thing was carried out traditionally in village Mirpur Bhutto, where my father the cousin of Shaheed Bhutto was dwelling. Later I left for Bombay, where Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Saheb was busy studying and I returned back when Pakistan came into being. I don’t remember the exact date of leaving Bombay, but what I remember as the three years tenure I stayed there and most probably it was 1944, when I left my village for Bombay. When Shaheed Bhutto Saheb and I were engaged both mine and his fathers were alive and Bhutto Saheb set out for London to take studies. Though my father was thinking about the difference in our ages but my in-laws did not give more importance to it, saying that everything was being done within family and it was purely a family matter. I don’t know exactly when Shaheed Bhutto returned to Pakistan but I could only say that as soon as he came back he started teaching Law in Sindh Muslim Law College and at that time I was living in nay village and he used to visit Naudero while practicing law. Things around me were good enough to speak about his high thinking’s. He as always pointing towards the picture of Mr. Jinnah in his room and was wishing to become a leader of Mr. Jinnah’s caliber after completing studies in England. Though my mother-in-law did not favour him going and living abroad but he was a man who had constantly been pressing upon his intentions and that speaks of the volume of his determination at that age and time. We shared happiness and sorrows. He respected me. He tried to make cue realize that we were from same family and sometimes he talked of his mind to marry again, for which he had formed opinion that I could not company him breaking the family traditions of purdah. But he always promised for fulfilling the commitments of remaining with me at any cost he told me he will have another wife but after completing education. He respected me a lot and usually asked me for settling down local problems in Naudero myself. Shaheed Bhutto usually visited Naudero on Eids. Q. Did you ever accompany Bhutto Saheb any where? A. No, I did not, because I preferred to remain inside the home. Once there was a party in the honour of Bhutto Saheb, his friends expected me to be there, but Mr. Mashooq Bhutto, the brother of Mr. Mumtaz Ali Bhutto told them that Bhutto’s wife would not attend it because she did not like to come in public. “No one identifies me in Karachi. Even in Larkana I am unknown to people. If I come out in Larkana without burka people will not recognize me.
