LARKANA, Nov 30: Vice- chairman of the Sindh National Front (SNF), Amir Bukhsh Bhutto, has said that hypocrisy and expediency have infected country’s politics and those who talked of Pakistan resolution were branded as traitors.
Speaking at a function organised to celebrate the 73rd birthday anniversary of Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, chairman of SNF, he said that Quaid-i-Azam and other leaders’ sacrifices had led to creation of the country.
Similarly, Z.A.Bhutto stood by his stance and walked to the gallows, refusing to compromise on principles.
The former MPA said that Mumtaz Ali Bhutto had conceived the idea of SNF and advocated provincial autonomy and maximum rights to the provinces which was now echoing all over the country as well as in the corridors of power.
He said backing out of commitments and promises started just after the independence of Pakistan and it gave birth to what he called unrest in Balochistan, NWFP and Sindh.
He said that SNF was fighting for the rights of Sindh while other political parties were out to grab power.
The current scenario, he said, was reminding of the last days of General Ayub’s government adding that the days of this government were numbered.
During the ceremony, Mumtaz Bhutto, also called from Egypt and thanked his party workers for arranging the event and predicted that situation would be different next year on this day.
Dr Roshan Paichoho, former Sindh health minister and divisional organizer of SNF Larkana and Syed Mohammad Ibrahim Shah, president of SND Larkana district, also spoke on the occasion.
A large number of SNF workers attended the function where Amir Bakhsh Bhutto, along with party leaders, sliced a 73-pound cake.
