We(Pakistan) will eat grass, even go hungry, but we will get one of our own (Atom bomb).... We have no other choice!
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
Tear gas, rubber bullets, and I would have arrested all the leaders. Oh, only a disgusting drunkard like ex-President Yahya Khan could have sullied himself with an operation carried out so badly and bloodily.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
Yes, there are circumstances where a bloody suppression is justifiable and justified.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
I tried to explain that there was a great difference between me and Mujib [Rahiman]: he was a secessionist and I wasn't.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
A regime which puts in a bunker the highest law in the land does not have the moral authority to say that nobody is above the law.

Image
To conclude, the tragedy of March 25 [1969] caught me by surprise. Yahya Khan fooled even me.

Image
[Mujib Rahman] is mad, mad! And they're all mad, the press included, who repeat after him, Three million dead, three million dead! The Indians had let out the figure of one million. He came along and doubled it. Then tripled it. It's a characteristic of the man - he'd done the same for the hurricane.

I would not let myself be intimidated by Yahya Khan, his methods had led us to disaster.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
I'm not trying to minimize things I'm trying to bring them back to reality.

Image
The fact is that when you talk about Mujib [Rahiman], everything seems so incredible. I don't understand how the world can take him seriously.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
I've known him since 1954 and I've never taken Mujib Rahiman seriously - I understood from the very first moment that there was no depth to him, no preparation, that he was an agitator breathing a lot of fire and with an absolute lack of ideas.

Mujib [Rahman], as you've seen, is a congenital liar. He can't help telling lies - it's something stronger than he.

Tikka Khan was a soldier doing a soldier's job.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
[Tikka Khan] made his appeal with loudspeakers, and still he came to know of only four cases. Shall we multiply by ten and make it forty? We're still far from the senseless figures spread around by Mujib [Rahman] and Indra Gandhi.

What can you say of a leader who starts drinking as soon as he wakes up and doesn't stop until he goes to bed? You've no idea how painful it was to deal with Yahya Khan. He was really Jack the Ripper.

Every government, every country, has the right to exercise force when necessary.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
Yahya Khan wasn't interested in the government of the country, he was interested in power for its own sake and nothing else.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
We know who left the country. And many were Bengalis from West Bengal, sent from Calcutta. It was she who sent them - Mrs.[Indira] Gandhi.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
The sanction of force stands behind the medley of personal orders and regulations of Martial Law. The sanction of the people's consent stands behind the hierarchy of laws. In one situation, the population is regimented into acquiescence. In the other, the population voluntarily establishes a contract with Parliament.

If the people wanted my head I would bow without demur. If I had lost the confidence or respect of the people I would not want to live. The tragedy of the drama is that the very opposite is true.
