Bhutto and After

Bhutto and After Romesh Thapar FOR how long will the politicians of the world, and the subservient press linked to them, keep us hooked on sentimental stories about Zulfikar Ali Bhutto? The facts which are highlighted do not capture the sordid record of Bhutto, the power-wielder, or of the psychopathic fanaticism of General Zia-ul-Haq, Pakistan's martial law administrator. The horrendous killing of Bhutto, who was himself a savage politician, is projected in such a way that the trauma of Pakistan hardly gets across.
