GOOD DEED PAYSMunshi Mohammed Hassan BhuttoI am the son of Azizullah Bhutto, who was a hari of Shaheed Baba. In 1959 BhuttoSahib called me through Haji Yar Mohammad, who was his attorney. Heappointed me Munshi at Deli Sharababad, taluka Jacobabad. I served him for 14years as Munshi at the same place. Once during rabbi season it rained and mostof the wheat crop was damaged. When I visited him with the accounts at Al-Murtaza Larkana, he asked me, “why this loss?” I informed him about the rainsand that all the neighboring Zamindars crops were completely destroyed whilewe still managed to save some.Bhutto Sahib told me that because he helped the poor, God had saved some of hiscrop. He asked me which Zammdar’s crops were completely destroyed. I namedthree of them who were at that time awaiting him at Naudero. Bhutto Sahibvisited Naudero and sent for three Zamindars. He phoned D.C. Larkana toprovide relief to those who suffered losses.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Recollections and Remembrances; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 163
HIS LAND FOR THE LANDLESSAlan NarejoIn 1972 Bhutto Sahib distributed some of his personal lands to his haris with hisown hands. He also contributed land for a high school at Naudero. Bhutto Sahibdistributed his own lands in various areas i.e Jacobabad, Garhi Khero, Miro Khan& Ratodero and instructed the Mukhtiarkars to accompany the haris for on thespot regularization for this purpose. Bhutto Sahib then had lunch with thepeasant beneficiaries of his land distribution. During this he asked me which ofthese lands had been allocated to me. I informed him that I was a hari on his landand he granted me a nice piece. Bhutto Sahib remarked, that now, I was aZamindar whereby I thanked him as this was all due to his kindness. After thisBhutto Sahib addressed the gathering and the occasion was celebrated with loudslogans, by singing and dancing in which Bhutto Sahib himself participated.Bhutto Sahib thus distributed his own lands with great pleasure.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Recollections and Remembrances; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 164
