d not spare me’,” External, Internal Factors Led to Fall of ZAB

He was a left wing fascist, his nationalisation projects destroyed Pakistan's economy, he tricked Ahmadis into helping him with votes in Punjab yet stabbed us in the back to please the Mullahs, never again will we ever trust any politician ever.

I may not be able to relate with your level of pain/anger. But yes, someone like Modi, people can keep in check. He respects democracy and the electorate sees him coming from a mile away: he says what he does so he can be voted out. But Bhutto, because he only masqueraded as a democrat, would be impossible to check. There is no guarantee that a defeat in elections would be enough to stand him down. IMO he and his power hunger were more responsible for Bangladesh than Yahya.

The interesting thing I noticed is that before Bhutto, whatever hatred Ahmedis faced was not institutional. No Islamist who wanted to get rid of Ahmedis could make it a statute to outlaw them, the mullahs probably did not even know how to deal with Ahmedis legally at all. And it must be a novel idea. It takes some critical thinking to analyze the rift between Ahmedis and mullahs and then appease the mullahs with the least restriction on Ahmedis(Don't call yourself muslim). If only the creative person who drafted the law thought about it from Ahmedi perspective or better with common sense.

Bhutto did not have any real plans after nationalization(which btw India also did but with some goals in mind. But India was a NAM country). May be he wanted to be some kind of Nasser. Otherwise for a country firmly in Western block, nationalisation makes little sense.
