Nothing, he said

October 3, 2008

It is common knowledge that Bhutto used the Tashkent Declaration as an excuse to launch his opposition movement against Ayub Khan. Some even say he engineered the 1956 war to stop Ayub Khan's, and hence the country's, march towards prosperity so that he could play his own politics. It is a pity that educated people keep putting forward false arguments in their blind support for a man who had more vices than virtues. Please read what the two people closest to Bhutto have to say about him; Dr Mubashar Hasan's 'The mirage of power' and Rafi Raza's 'Bhutto and Pakistan'. -KHURSHID ANWER, Lahore, via e-mail, September 17.
