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