Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, born on 5 January, 1938, in Sindh, was
a Pakistani barrister, politician and statesman who served as the fourth president
of Pakistan from 1971 to 1973, and later as the ninth prime minister of
Pakistan from 1973 to 1977. He was the founder of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)
and served as its chairman until his execution on 4 April 1979.
Bhutto's legacy remains contentious; he is hailed by supporters for his nationalism and secular internationalist agenda. He is denounced by critics for political repression, impoverished economy, and human rights abuses in Balochistan. Bhutto is often considered one of Pakistan's greatest leaders, and his party, the PPP, remains among Pakistan's largest, with his daughter Benazir Bhutto being twice elected Prime Minister, while his son-in-law and Benazir's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, served as president.
