April 4 is the ‘darkest day’ in history: Sharjeel

Bhutto family and the entire nation are still waiting for justice, says minister

KARACHI:

Sindh Minister for Information Sharjeel Inam Memon has paid rich tributes to Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) on his 44th death anniversary, saying that April 4 is the "darkest day" in the history of Pakistan.

The Bhutto family and the entire nation are still waiting for justice in the judicial killing of the great leader despite the passage of 44 years, he said in a statement on Tuesday.

"Was it a fault of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto that he laid the foundation of the country's nuclear program? Was it his fault that he gave a unanimous Constitution to the country? Was it his fault to bring back 93,000 prisoners of war from Indian prisons in an honourable manner?"

Memon further asked if it was a fault of ZAB that he got back 5000 square miles land of Pakistan occupied by the enemy country.
