Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has filed a petition in the Supreme Court to telecast live the hearing on the presidential reference against the execution of his grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
The petition was filed by lawyer Farooq H. Naik on behalf of Bilawal Bhutto.
Bilawal Bhutto’s position was adopted that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death on the charge of conspiracy to murder, Zulfiqar Bhutto was hanged, which was the worst fall of justice in the country’s history.
It was argued in the petition that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged but his ideology is still alive, he fought for the rule of law all his life, hanging Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto is a stain on the entire judicial system.
The petition requested that the court proceedings should be telecasted live so that the whole of Pakistan can hear it and bring transparency to erase this stain.
It should be noted that the presidential reference on Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s murder case has been set for hearing in the Supreme Court after 11 years this month.
A 9-member larger bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faiz Isa will hear the Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto case on December 12 (tomorrow).
It should be remembered that former President Asif Ali Zardari filed a presidential reference in the Supreme Court in April 2011.
