Q. Didn’t you go to President’s house or anywhere with him?<br />
A. He insisted me to go with him but I refused. I thought that I would feel<br />
alone there.<br />
Q. What about those three years you remained with <strong>Bhutto</strong> Sahib in Bombay?<br />
A. Yes I remained in Bombay for three years after that I lived in my father’s<br />
house. <strong>Bhutto</strong> Sahib visited me there occasionally. We had lived together for only<br />
three years.<br />
Q. Where were you at the time when <strong>Bhutto</strong> Saheb was arrested?<br />
A. I was in Larkana. He was also arrested from there. Then I went to Karachi<br />
<strong>and</strong> sometimes later news came that he (<strong>Bhutto</strong> Saheb) was released on bail. He<br />
came to me on Eid. Both the sisters <strong>and</strong> my foster mother also met him. People<br />
were chanting slogans but <strong>Bhutto</strong> Saheb stopped them.<br />
Q. Did he talk to you?<br />
A. Not that much. He looked occupied in some thoughts.<br />
Q. Did he debar you from politics?<br />
A. Yes. He refrained me from appealing for his release from the jail.<br />
Q. How many times did you meet him in jail?<br />
A. Four times.<br />
Q. What do you talk to him?<br />
A. I can’t tell you about that.<br />
Q. How did you fund <strong>Bhutto</strong> Saheb in jail?<br />
A. <strong>Bhutto</strong> Saheb faced it bravely <strong>and</strong> courageously. When I wept there he<br />
solaced rue <strong>and</strong> said. “Don’t weep. Look to your family. Don’t weep. If they will see you<br />
weeping they will laugh at <strong>and</strong> say that they saw <strong>Bhutto</strong>’s wife weeping.” Zia had<br />
secretly installed bug devices in the room to listen to us. That is why we did not<br />
talk too much.<br />
Q. What happened during your last meeting in Rawalpindi jail?<br />
