[Pak-Media] Bhutto's Treachery- Historical fact

BHUTTO's TREACHERY- A Historical fACT


FRONTLINEVolume 24 - Issue 1 :
02-15,2007INDIA'S NATIONAL MAGAZINE
from the publishers of THE HINDU
Bhutto's Treachery A.G.NOORANI


ZULFIKAR ALI BHUTTO was one of those
persons who, however talented, were inherently incapable
of being truthful.

He was treacherous to India, his
country of birth, and simultaneously to Pakistan, the
country of adoption.

In India, he pursued cases to
establish that he was an Indian citizen, whose properties could
not be declared evacuee property, while
pursuing, around the same
period, claims for compensation
in Pakistan as its citizen
who had lost properties in India.

Ayub Khan's Diaries have two entries of
March 3 and June 30, 1967. One of them reads
thus: "Certain documents from India came into my
hands, stating that Mr. Bhutto had been, till 1958, claiming
that he was an Indian citizen and that he was staying
in Karachi only
temporarily. I have asked for further confirmation. It just
shows how unscrupulous and soulless this man
is."

The second entry reads: "An awkward
question was asked in the National Assembly. Up to the time he
became a Minister in 1958, Bhutto had been declaring before the
Indian courts that he was an Indian citizen residing
in Karachi. The object was to
get some compensation for the property left by his parents
in India. In fact, he was
selling his soul for about one lakh fifty thousand
rupees.

All this was not known to us till
recently when the matter was discussed in the Indian Parliament
and came out in that press."

The official report of the proceedings in
the Rajya Sabha on November 19, 1965 (Vol. LIV; No.12) and court
records establish the charge incontestably. Mahavir Tyagi, the
Minister for Rehabilitation,
said: "Shri Z.A. Bhutto, Minister for External
Affairs, in Pakistan was a resident
of Bombay along with his
parents at the time of Partition and owned properties
there.

He was declared as an evacuee on
6th July, 1949 by the Deputy Custodian and his properties were
taken over as evacuee property. Shri Bhutto contested the
declaration order in various proceedings taken by him before the
Custodian, Custodian General, Bombay and Punjab High Court and
ultimately before the Supreme Court of India for 9
years.

While on the one hand
he was contesting the decision that he was an evacuee and
disowned any connection with Pakistan, its nationality or
domicile, on the other hand he had filed an application in
Pakistan as an evacuee, claiming payment of a court deposit
lying with the High Court, Bombay.

However, in November 1958, the
year in which he became a Minister in Pakistan and took oath of
secrecy there, on a petition made by Shri Z.A. Bhutto that he
had then settled in Pakistan and that his appeal be dismissed as
withdrawn, the Supreme Court granted the prayer and passed an
order accordingly.

"Extracts from his various
petitions and statements recorded in the course of proceedings
are contained in the statement which I place on the Table of the
House (See Appendix XLIV, Annexure No.
19)."

Those documents reveal a lot. He gave the
details to the Deputy Custodian of Evacuee
Property on
oath on July 27, 1949 and to the
Custodian on November 17, 1951: "After passing the Senior
Cambridge examination, the applicant on or about 8th September
1947, left for the United States of America from Bombay where he
had been permanently
residing.

The applicant further says that when he
so left for abroad on 8th September,
1947, he did so on an Indian
passport."
On July 27,
1949, he had said
earlier, also on
oath: "I do not know when my mother or
sisters left Bombay. I made applications
to several universities from 1945 onwards. My father received
replies from them. I returned to Karachi after 10 years.
My education was in Bombay. I am not residing
in Karachi."

In his appeal to the Custodian-General on
January 30, 1956, he described himself as temporarily residing in
Karachi. "The applicant
was sui
juris and had attained majority and
merely because the applicant's parents resided
inKarachi and his marriage
took place there, it did not follow therefrom that the
applicant's home was also in Karachi."

He added in his appeal: "That the learned
Custodian failed to appreciate that the applicant went to
the United States of
America as an Indian national on an Indian
passport and continued to be an
Indian national at the relevant time.

That the learned Custodian erred
in holding without any evidence on record that the applicant
after obtaining majority has at any relevant time accepted
Karachi as his domicile."

On September 11,
1957, he filed an appeal in the Supreme Court
of India praying that all
the proceedings against him as evacuee be quashed. He became in
1957 a member of Pakistan's delegation to the
United Nations General Assembly, which commences its session in
September every year. He became a member of Ayub Khan's Cabinet
as Minister of Commerce in 1958. He withdrew his appeal in the
Supreme Court stating "that the petitioner is,
however, now settled
in Karachi and does not
propose to prosecute appeal No. 489 of 1957 pending in this
honourable court any further". That was on August 13, 1958. The
Court allowed the withdrawal on November 3, 1958. He had become
a member of Ayub Khan's Cabinet three weeks
earlier.

Before that he wrote
an obsequious letter to President Iskandar Mirza in April 1958
from Geneva, where he
had Pakistan's delegation to the
Conference on the Law of the Sea. He wrote: "When the history of
our country is written by objective
historians, your name will be
placed even before that of Mr. Jinnah. I say this because I
mean to, and not because you are the President of my country"
(emphasis added,
throughout).

Meanwhile in Pakistan, Bhutto was
pursuing his claims under the Registration of Claims Act, 1955.
He filed them in 1956. He owned the Astoria Hotel at Churchgate
in Bombay and the proceeds of a bungalow, `My Nest,' at Worli
which his father, Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto had
sold.

He was Dewan of Junagadh, which
acceded to Pakistan in August 1947. In November 1947, Sir Shah
Nawaz settled down in
Karachi.

In the claim that he filed,
Bhutto assessed the value of the Astoria Hotel in Bombay at
Rs.12 lakh and that of the house at Rs.1,40,000. The Claims
Officer, however, verified the first claim for Rs.3,93,952; as
to the second, he held that he was entitled to securities of the
value of Rs.1,40,000.

Bhutto appealed to the Deputy
Claims Commissioner who, by his order dated October 6, 1956,
raised the value of the hotel for purposes of compensation to
Rs.9,97,991. This enhancement of nearly Rs.6 lakh did not
satisfy Bhutto. He went in revision to the Claims Commissioner,
who, applying the revised compensation formula approved by the
government (40 times the gross annual rental in 1946), assessed
the capital value of the property at
Rs.44,30,400.

This final order was
passed on September 18, 1957 - exactly one
week after Bhutto submitted his appeal to the Supreme Court
of India claiming as an
Indian citizen the same property against which he was
simultaneously claiming compensation in Pakistan as a Pakistani
citizen. All this for filthy
lucre

[Pak-Media] News--Alternative medicines to benefit masses, reduce costs

Alternative medicines can benefit masses, reduce costs

 

 

Islamabad: [Nov 06]

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said bringing alternative system of medicine into the mainstream can help reduce healthcare costs and promote understanding among various disciplines.

 

Despite tremendous advancements in modern medicine, around 75 per cent of the developing world and 50 per cent of the western population prefer alternative medicines.

 

Interest in alternative healthcare system is growing as worldwide while sales of herbal products have skyrocketed to $50 billion a year, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the PEW.

 

Underlining need for tough regulations for the production, sale, and use of alternatives to ensure quality, safety and efficacy, he said that integration of all medicine systems can serve the common goal of improving health of the people.

 

Dr. Murtaza Mughal who is also President of Council of Alternate Medical Practitioners (CAMP) said that alternative medicines including homeopathy are significantly contributing towards promoting health; it has helped produce marvellous results.

 

The proponents of the allopathy, which retains influence over the entire healthcare system, should stop looking down upon them for common good, said Dr. Mughal.

 

Inclusion of some introductory modules of other systems into the orthodox medical curriculum can help develop understanding and bridge the communication gap, he said.

[Pak-Media] PR Nov06--Women silent contributors to economic development

Women silent contributors to economic development: Mian Shahid

Assisting women to help overcome economic recession in Pakistan

Media can bridge info gap between women and opportunities

 

Dated: Nov 06

 

Islamabad: Mian Shahid on Sunday said women are silent contributors to the economic and social development but their substantial role is largely unnoticed or taken for granted.

 

There are many issues confronting development of women including the idea of female as being secondary to male and of women's businesses being of less significance, he said.

 

Society should facilitate women to start a business to achieve personal freedom, security, and satisfaction, he said while speaking to women entrepreneurs at Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI).

 

Samina Fazil, founder President, IWCCI, Alya Akram President IWCCI, other office bearers and members were also present on the occasion.

 

Mian Shahid said that there is a pressing need to empower women economically and create employment opportunities to enable them to survive, prosper, and support their families.

 

Helping women explore and enhance business potential, develop business, access credit, assistance with marketing skills and product design can help combat economic recession in Pakistan, he added.

 

Mian Shahid, who is CEO of an insurance company, said that business community should plan to strengthen the capacity of businesswomen.

 

He said that women hold only one per cent assets in the country, which result in their one per cent contribution in the total income tax collections which describes our attitude towards them.

 

At the occasion, Samina Fazil said that we have to strike a balance between domestic and business responsibilities while keeping cultural factors in the mind.

 

We do not enjoy the same opportunities as men due to discriminatory socio-cultural values, she complained.

 

The economic potential of female entrepreneurs is not being realised which is barring our integration into the mainstream economy.

 

Samina Fazil said that media can bridge the information gap between women entrepreneurs and the existing opportunities.
