ISLAMABAD: The PPP has decided not to hold its central gathering at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh on April 4 to observe the martyrdom anniversary of former prime minister and party founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in view of the regional situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Bhutto\u2019s grandson and PPP chairman, Bilawal Bhutto-Zarda\u00adri, has issued instructions in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party\u2019s secretary general, Humayun Khan, said that instead of holding the gathering, the martyrdom anniversary of the party\u2019s founder would be observed at the district level across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, all district organisations, including elected representatives and ticket holders, have been directed to organise Quran Khawanis in their respective districts to pay tribute to the late Bhutto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the secretary general, the decision to forgo the central gathering has been taken in the broader context of the current regional situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasised that the party will commemorate the day with simplicity and solemnity, while ensuring that \u201cShaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto\u2019s unparalleled sacrifices for the country and its people are duly honoured\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PPP leadership has further instructed party workers to actively participate in these local ceremonies and reaffirm their commitment to the vision and legacy of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Bhutto was executed on April 4, 1979, after being convicted in a controversial murder case, widely criticised for lacking due process. He was buried at his family mausoleum in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
