This gallery comprises images of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto originally collected by Agha Feroz.

Agha Feroz was the personal photgrapher of the Bhutto family and mainly Benazir Bhutto and shared the same affluence as her till she was assasinated in 2007.

"There was a time when I traveled the world with Benazir in helicopters and aeroplanes, now I change two buses just to get to work. I never thought that my life alone would take a such a massive turn due to the demise of the Bhutto family."

Agha Feroz paid tribute to the Bhutto Empire by organising an exhibit at the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Park, in Karachi.
