ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The senior advocate Ahmad Raza Kasuri, whose father Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Kasuri was killed in 1974 in Lahore in Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s government, has said that if Bhutto was a martyr, what his father be called?
Talking to media on Monday after the hearing of Presidential Reference in the Supreme Court of Pakistan seeking to revisit the 1979 death sentence awarded to the former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Kasuri questioned that what would be the status entitled to his murdered father, if Bhutto was called a martyr?
Ahmad Raza Kasuri also said that if a 40-year-old case could be opened, then an influx of several long-pending cases could follow as well.
Earlier in the day, the larger bench of the Apex Court headed by the Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa heard the Bhutto’s case.
