Fall of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his Family was due to his attaining
Nuclear Power for Pakistan The explosive situation in the region is the
direct or indirect result of the threat hurled by Dr. Henry Kissinger to
late. Bhutto and tacit support of Ronald Reagan to the so-called
Islamic Dictator General Mohammad Ziaul Haq (1977-1988). - "QUOTE" "It
is generally believed that the US wanted Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to be
removed from the political scene of Pakistan mainly on two accounts.
First, for the nuclear policy that he framed and tried to relentlessly
pursue and secondly, from apprehensions that ZAB was influencing the
countries. He posed a serious challenge to the US interests in the
region. “Tally-ho. Kill Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, “ yelled the
self-proclaimed policemen of the world. During August 1976, American
Secretary of States, Dr. Henry Kissinger had warned Bhutto, “We will
make a horrible example of you,” adding menacingly, “When the railroad
is coming, you get out of the way.” The American had successfully
cultivated a number of well-placed bureaucrats, PPP stalwarts and
ministers who wittingly or inadvertently served as the US agents of
influence. American diplomats and CIA operators not only got most of the
‘inside’ information from these ‘gentlemen’ but also utilized their
good offices to ‘convey’ whatever they wanted to feed or plant. Some
officers from USMAAG had also made meaningful ingresses in the General
Headquarters and not only gathered the thinking in the Services
Headquarters but would also drop a ‘suggestion’ here and there.
Some of the US Diplomats had established direct contacts with a number of PNA leaders whom they continued to aid, support and give day-to-day line of action. A number of US diplomats were not only actively involved but also directed the operations against Bhutto. Jan M. Gibney, Political Officer, US Consulate General, Lahore, duly assisted by a couple of Pakistanis, was extremely active and would frequently visit a number of Politicians Maulana Maudoodi of Jamat-e-Islami and Maulan Obaidullah Anwar, Jamiat-e-Ulmai- Islam of Sheranwala Gate, Lahore. Apart from holding meetings, a wireless network had been established between the USIS-US Consulate General – Maulana Maudoodi’s residence. It was Gibney who had telephoned and conveyed to Howard B. Schaffer, Chief of Political Affairs, US Embassy, Islamabad, that notorious sentence, “The party is over. Merchandise has gone.” The US had also released PL-480 funds. Over night some Jamat-e-Islami workers were seen with pockets full of money and spending lavishly. A number of businessmen, particularly those, who had suffered due to ZAB’s economic and industrial policies, had also been prompted to contribute towards the PNA funds. As there were no party accounts being maintained as such, the contributions were received personally by some of the leaders. Justice (Retd.) Kaikaus and Rafiq Ahmed Bajwa are among those who are alleged to have made millions."
