Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Recollections and remembrances

MONJO PAYARO CHACHOShabnam BhuttoOne whose sell was larger than the largest deserts.whose love was deeper than the deepest oceans.whose person was cooler than the coolest drops of dew.whose challenging; tone was bolder than that of the bravest lions.whose sight was sharper than that of Shaheens (lying at great heights.whose rock hard principles were stronger than the highest Himalayas.whose vision reached the farthest horizons.whose loving personality would make him yours for ever.whose thought was higher Than the highest skies.And who was named after the Holy name of Maula Ali Murtaza.whom people remember as their own Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Shaheed.he was my uncle, the younger brother of in father Late Sikandar Ali Bhutto.In the same was that he was loved by the children, youth and old citizens, heloved and was loved by his family members.Each and every one in the family loved him immensely, we still love him andshall continue to love him. We know that he and his love for his family and hispeople live on.My sister Rukhsana was a very small child when she sat down on a hunger strikewith her beloved uncle during Ayub days.He was protesting against Ayub, but I went on a hunger strike, because he couldnot come to our house due to his very busy political engagements after his releasefrom jail. I sent a message that I will not take anything till such time he visited us.He rushed to our house. My hunger strike was over then and there, but Rukhsanainsisted on carrying on her hunger strike, till such time her dear uncle was on ahunger strike. “Children do not go on hunger strike. Please take something”, hetried his best to make Rukhsana understand. But she would not listen. Herhunger strike ended when Shaheed Chacha himself ended his own hunger strike.Shahecd Chacha loved cauliflower and carrot Achars, which my aunts used toprepare with their own hands. We also love these Achars. However, althoughyears have passed after Chacha’s shahadat, we have not touched these Achars.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Recollections and Remembrances; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 34
