Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1928–1977). A protege of <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong>’s first military<br />
ruler, Field Marshall Ayub Khan, Bhutto served as his foreign minister<br />
before launching his political party, the <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong> People’s Party, in 1969.<br />
<strong>The</strong> PPP won a landslide victory in West <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong> (today’s <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong>) in<br />
the 1970 general election. He became President and chief martial law<br />
administrator after the secession of East <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong> (now Bangladesh)<br />
in December 1971. He gave the country a new constitution in 1973<br />
and became its first elected Prime Minister. Bhutto’s government was<br />
overthrown by General Zia ul-Haq in July 1977 and he was executed two<br />
years later after a dubious trial.<br />
Mohammed Ali Jinnah (1876–1948). A lawyer, statesman and founding<br />
father of <strong><strong>Pak</strong>istan</strong>, Jinnah became the country’s first Governor General<br />
after its creation on 14 August 1947.<br />
General Yahaya Khan seized power in March 1969. He was forced to step<br />
down in December 1971 after a revolt in the army.<br />
Ahmedis or Qadianis is a sect that followed the teachings of a nineteenthcentury<br />
Punjabi cleric, Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, who claimed he had direct<br />
revelations from Allah. His claim clashed with the basic <strong>Islam</strong>ic tenet that<br />
Mohammed was the last and final prophet.<br />
