Ghanwa says PPP-SB will resurrect ZA Bhutto’s ideology

* Party chairwoman says politics, leadership and ideology are people’s property

LARKANA: Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s ideology was based on the welfare of the masses, in total contrast to the feudal system that predominates, and Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB)’s main aim in contesting the general elections is to bring true democracy in line with this ideology to the people, said the party’s Chairwoman Ghanwa Bhutto.

Presiding over the party’s provincial council and senior workers meeting at Al-Murtaza House here on Tuesday, she said it was critical to follow the real principles of ZA Bhutto, who was sincerely engaged in transferring power to the grassroots so that people could attain their fundamental rights.

She appreciated party workers’ efforts and said they are the party’s real assets. The workers are responsible for conveying the party’s message to the people so that real democracy can be established, she said.

Ghanwa said she was disappointed to learn that some elements within the party held that Fatima Bhutto and Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto Junior were the rightful heirs of ZA Bhutto’s ideology. Politics, leadership and ideology are not anyone’s inherited property, not even Fatima or Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Jr’s — the real heirs of ZA Bhutto’s ideology are the people, she said.

The PPP-SB chairwoman said that when the party becomes equally strong in Punjab, Sindh and other parts of the country, and people rally to make ZA Bhutto’s ideology successful, then Fatima and Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto Jr could lead the party in the “struggle for and with the masses”. Ghanwa said that currently she, along with Fatima and Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto Junior, were party workers and would stand in solidarity with them in the future as well.

After general elections, PPP-SB will be reorganised from the union council to the federal level, and conventions will be convened across many districts in the country for this purpose, she said. app
