Bhutto was murdered under conspiracy: Raza Rabbani

LARKANA: The founder of Pakistan Peoples Party, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was murdered under a conspiracy, Senate chairperson Raza Rabbani claimed on Sunday.

While talking to the media in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Rabbani said Pakistan becoming a nuclear power did not go down well with many western countries, which is why they conspired against Bhutto, who had started the nuclear programme.

Rabbani added that even today no politician can levy corruption charges on Bhutto.

Earlier, he spoke to the media at Sukkur airport saying the proof of Bhutto's murder had surfaced. "There is a reference [regarding the murder] in Supreme Court but it has been lying untouched," the Senate chairperson said. "The Supreme Court must make a decision on the reference by taking suo motto notice."

Talking about the National Accountability Bureau, he said its laws have failed and cannot help in controlling corruption. However, he added, the Panama case was in the court. "Let's see what happens."
