More quotes by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
[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.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
I don't say it in the Indian fashion that is hypocritically. I say it sincerely because, instead of hatred, I feel great compassion for Mujib Rahiman.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Mujib [Rahman] talks at random, depending on his mood and the disorders of his sick mind.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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
Let's talk about the other story: the women raped and killed. I don't believe it. Certainly there was no lack of excesses, but General Tikka Khan says that in those months he often invited the population to report abuses to him directly.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
To conclude, the tragedy of March 25 [1969] caught me by surprise. Yahya Khan fooled even me.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Even to get Yahya Khan to reason was an impossible task - it only made you lose your temper.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
[Yahya Khan ] had given me an appointment for the following day. And, days later, General Mohd Umar revealed to me that he'd resorted to this stratagem so that I'd stay in Dacca and see the efficiency of the army. I give you my word of honor that all this is true.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Yes, there are circumstances where a bloody suppression is justifiable and justified.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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
Tikka Khan won't try to stick his nose in politics.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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
To build a country, [Joseph] Stalin was obliged to use force and kill. Mao Tse-tung was obliged to use force and kill. To mention only two recent cases, without raking over the whole history of the world.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
I can't destroy the whole army, and anyway [Tikka Khan] bad reputation for the events in Dacca is exaggerated.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
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.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Every government, every country, has the right to exercise force when necessary.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
I am guiding you to seek truth from the facts of the historical conditions of our society and to identify the problems. The correct solutions will come with the correct identification of the problems.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
[Tikka Khan] went to East Pakistan with precise orders and came back by precise orders. He did what he was ordered to do, though he wasn't always in agreement, and I picked him because I know he'll follow my orders with the same discipline.
