Zulfikar Ali Bhutto 98th birth anniversary meeting
About this event
A meeting to mark the 98th birth anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, former President and Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Third World Solidarity organised a meeting at Baseline Studios in west London to mark the 98th birth anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, former President and Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto has a special place in our history: in the early 1960s, as a minister in the Ayub Khan government, he encouraged the students, labour unions and progressive organisations who first organised Third World Solidarity.
The meeting was chaired by our Chairman, Mushtaq Lasharie. London based journalist Javed Soomro, whose family had a close relationship with the Bhutto family, and Keith Bennett spoke about his life and legacy, including his role in building Pakistan's friendship with China.
