Post her marriage in 1987 to Karachi businessman Asif Ali Zardari - a man of huge clout because of his Sindhi-Baloch Jat tribal clan - Benazir Bhutto plunged further into politics. [516], Allen described Bhutto as "a woman of action rather than an intellectual". "[452] The PPP accused the government of a cover-up,[454] with several PPP figures claiming that Bhutto had been killed by a sniper linked to the intelligence agencies. [344] Some Pakistani feminist groups had refused to back Bhutto's re-election because, despite her repeated promises, she had not removed the hudud ordinances that Zia's administration had introduced. [184] Bhutto pledged that she would take tough action on the powerful drug barons. [245] From this position she attacked Sharif's every policy, highlighting his government's failings in dealing with Pakistan's problems of poverty, unemployment, and lack of healthcare, although not also discussing her own administration's failures on those same issues. [141] However, Islamic fundamentalists said it was un-Islamic for the country to have a female leader. Her government was damaged by several controversies, including the assassination of her brother Murtaza, a failed 1995 coup d'état, and a further bribery scandal involving her and her husband Asif Ali Zardari; in response to the latter, President Farooq Leghari dismissed her government. I was free of the complexes and prejudices which had torn Indians and Pakistanis apart in the bloody trauma of partition. [292], As many PPP members became increasingly dissatisfied with Bhutto during the 1990s, they referred to her brother Mir Murtaza, still in exile, as Zulfikar's true heir. Benazir Bhutto was a female Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1988, but she was killed in 2007 by a suicide bomber.She was born in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan on 21 st June 1953.She was the eldest child of former leading Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.She takes over the party and served the nation after getting the post of Prime Minister which was from 1971 – 1977. [537] Conservative clerical opponents also claimed that by being prime minister, Bhutto was failing her religious duty, which was to focus her energies on having as many children as possible. [268], John Burns, a journalist from The New York Times, investigated the business transactions of Bhutto and his wife, exposing the scale of their corruption. The Benazir Bhutto of 1988 was a uniting figure for her country; that of twenty years later, a divisive one. [502] While her Western supporters sometimes had doubts about her ability to govern, they generally viewed her as a progressive figure who could advance democracy and counter-terrorism in Pakistan. On 4 December 2012, in a statement responding to reports about demolition of a Hindu temple in Karachi and a desecration of an Ahmadia graveyard in Lahore he said, "Our forefathers did not sacrifice their lives for an intolerant, extremist, sectarian and authoritarian Pakistan. Zulfikar was the son of Shah Nawaz Bhutto, a prominent politician who had served as Prime Minister of the Junagadh State. [253] Bhutto promised price supports for agriculture, pledged a partnership between government and business, and campaigned strongly for the female vote. [345], Newly re-elected, Sharif moved quickly to curtail the powers of the presidency and judiciary. [270] She expressed bemusement as to why many thought her spending was lavish: "I mean, what is poor and what is rich? [70] Zulfikar, too, was arrested, initially for less than a month. [375] A Swiss court ordered her to turn over $11.9 million to the Pakistani state and to serve 180 days in prison. [230], In the 1980s, ethnic violence had broken out in Sindh province, with most of those killed being mohajirs. The process of privatisation of the nationalised industries was associated with the marked performance and improvement, especially the terms of labour productivity. [358] Musharraf stated that both Sharif and Bhutto had "misgoverned the country" and had failed to allow internal democracy within their own parties, pointing to Bhutto's appointment as chair for life of the PPP, something he compared to "the old African dictators". [12][13], The PPP scion claimed that rigging took place before and after the elections, adding that across Pakistan polling agents were expelled from the polling stations. [497] He therefore contrasted her with contemporaries like Iraq's Saddam Hussein who were popular domestically but hated in the West, and those like Egypt's Hosni Mubarak who curried favor with Western governments while alienating their domestic audience. [224], After Bhutto became Prime Minister, President Khan and the military were reluctant to tell her about Pakistan's nuclear program,[225] and it remains unknown how much Bhutto knew about the issue during her first term in office. [274] The country also entered the list of the world's top ten developing capital markets. I don't know how to deal with that. [100] One friend said that after her time in prison she remained in "a mildly traumatized state, jumping at sudden noise and worrying about who might be spying on her". [3] He is the maternal grandson of former President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his wife Nusrat Bhutto. [482] Allen commented that although the PPP had once been officially socialist in ideology, Bhutto "was not a natural socialist, or even as adept at talking the talk as Zulfikar had been". [343] The PPP had secured only 18 seats in the National Assembly. The Bhutto family’s painful history … [389] The US government increasingly saw Bhutto as an important figure who could help to constrain Pakistan's domestic problems. Whilst, Air Chief Marshal Farooq Feroze Khan was appointed chairman Joint Chiefs who was the first (and to date only) Pakistani air officer to have reached to such 4 stars assignment. [201], During her first premiership, Bhutto went on a number of foreign trips, enhancing her image as the first female Prime Minister in the Islamic world. [312] Bhutto initially blamed the killing on a conspiracy against her family;[310] she suggested that President Leghari had been involved, in an act designed to destabilise her government. [440] 22 others also died. Benazir Bhutto kam infolge eines Attentats ums Leben. [232] Although during her campaigns she vowed to abolish the hudud restrictions on women that Zia had introduced, she never did so;[492] instead these were revoked by Musharraf in 2006. Amir Ahmed,(2013) "Benazir Bhutto (Life & trends in foreign policy)" published and printed by The Lambert Academic Publishing (LAP) Company, Saarbrücken, Germany under its, This page was last edited on 18 January 2021, at 14:44. [302] In 1995, he established his own party, the PPP (Shaheed Bhutto);[303] the party's name implied that he was closer to the Bhutto's family's Shaheed than his sister, whom he symbolically distanced from the family by referring to her as "Begum Zardari". [500] Allen suggested that although Bhutto's record in office was that of a "corrupt, compromised politician", she displayed admirable qualities, especially valor in the face of opposition. [506], — Islamic studies scholar Akbar S. Ahmed, 2008[502], Commentators and biographers has said that Bhutto shared her father's charisma,[507] but also his arrogance,[508] and that like him she was impatient of criticism. In Sindh where marriage age is 18, we saw how law stopped an adult marrying a 10-year-old! He is of Sindhi descent on his maternal side and Baloch descent on his paternal side. [111] Bhutto varyingly claimed that Shahnawaz had been murdered by his wife, Raehana,[112] or had been killed on the orders of Zia. [194] Although Bhutto had long supported greater autonomy for Pakistan's provinces, she opposed it in the case of the Punjab. [315] She brought in Scotland Yard to investigate, partly to quell rumors that she had ordered the killing,[316] although the case remained unsolved. [94] In December, she was moved into house arrest, where she would remain for two years. [55] After her three-month term was up, she was succeeded by her close friend, Victoria Schofield. [72], In September, Zulfikar was re-arrested and charged with the 1974 murder of Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri, the father of Ahmed Raza Kasuri, a vocal critic of Zulfikar's government. [186] In January 1990, Indian police opened fire on a pro-independence rally in Kashmir, killing fifty and flaming tensions in the region. He as member of opposition in the National Assembly has also advocated that the legal marriage age should be made eighteen years across the country. [382] Can you spot Benazir Bhutto on Bakhtawar's shawl? Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was born in 1988, while Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari was born in January 1990. Benazir Bhutto enjoyed strong relations with the Pakistan Armed Forces, and President who was hand-picked by her did not question her authority. Bhutto's campaign was opposed by counter-protests, who believed that her father's supposed involvement in the persecution of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and atrocities during the Bangladesh Liberation War made him unsuitable. [32] Murtaza joined Bhutto at Harvard a year later. [487] In a 2007 article for the Los Angeles Times, Bhutto's niece, Fatima Bhutto, called her "a puppet 'democrat'" linked to the U.S. government's neoconservative agenda. "[494] Bhutto described her main role model as Fatimah, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, stating that she admired her piety, wisdom, and courage. This was the 10th manifesto by the party and was titled, Bibi ka Waada Nibhaana Hai Pakistan Bachana Hai (We have to fulfill Benazir's promise and save Pakistan). [484] Instead, Ahmed thought, its policies primarily benefited "the privileged classes" and was thus a right-wing rather than left-wing party. He specifically named Fatima Jinnah, Benazir Bhutto, Asma Jehangir and Maryam Mukhtar. [296] Having won, he flew back to Pakistan in November to take up his new position. [501] While in Pakistan Bhutto presented herself as a conservative Muslim who always wore her head covered, but as a student in Oxford she had adopted a more liberal lifestyle, tending to wear a T-shirt and jeans and occasionally drinking wine. [clarification needed][329], During her second term, relations with Indian Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao further deteriorated. Unlike Nawaz Sharif's second democratic term, Benazir worked with the military on many issues where the military disagreement, solving many problems relating directly to civil-military relations. [234] Her opposition to legalised abortion frustrated many Pakistani feminists. [282] During a trip to London, Bhutto faced Islamist protests outside the Dorchester Hotel, where she was staying. [66] Both Zulfikar and Benazir believed that Zia's coup had been assisted by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); Zulfikar claimed that in a 1976 meeting, U.S. diplomat Henry Kissinger had told him that the U.S. would make "a horrible example" of him if he did not terminate Pakistan's efforts to build a nuclear bomb. [539] He added that as a pioneering female leader, Bhutto had "barely half a dozen" parallels, among them Indira Gandhi, Thatcher, Golda Meir, Chandrika Kumaratunga, and Corazon Aquino. [186] She later related that to find out more she contacted key scientists in the program, such as A. Q. Khan, herself, bypassing the president and military hierarchy. Bhutto, through her Internal Security Minister Naseerullah Babar, intensified the internal security operations and steps, gradually putting down the opposition's political rallies, while she did not completely abandon the reconciliation policy. On 18 February 2018 while addressing a function in Washington, Bhutto Zardari said that there is a growing increase in terrorism in Pakistan and that democracy can win over extremism, but the biggest battle is of ideologies. In retrospect, her best and worst qualities seem so intimately linked that the course of her career might almost have been predicted. [379] Petroline International Inc is owned by Bhutto, her nephew Hassan Ali Jaffery Bhutto, and her aide and head of security Rehman Malik, who later became a Senator and Interior Minister in the government of Yousaf Raza Gillani. [5], For early education, Bhutto Zardari attended Karachi Grammar School in Karachi, Froebel's International School in Islamabad before going into exile to Dubai in 1999 along with his mother. [526] Regarding the rumors of separation, in 2008 Bhutto's friend Victoria Schofield said that the marriage should not be judged by ordinary standards. Bilawal, Benazir's eldest son, said the people of Pakistan must similarly unite to save the country. [500] Suvorova similarly observed that Bhutto presented herself differently when in the West to when she was in Pakistan. [216], — Bhutto's speech rallying Kashmiri militants to fight for independence from India, 1990[212], After accusations of being too conciliatory towards India, Bhutto took a harder line against them, particularly on the Kashmir conflict. [238], In 1990, Bhutto gave birth to her first daughter, Bakhtawal. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated by the jihadis on December 27, 2007 after addressing a rally where she repeated her warnings about the Taliban and other extremist groups.
