Bhutto wants full, total and complete transfer of power

Karachi, Sept. 2 (APP): The People's Party chairman, Mr. Z.A. Bhutto today reiterated that power should be transferred to the elected representatives of the people or they should be associated with the Government to overcome the present political and economic crisis.

Addressing a press conference at the party's central secretariate here, he said that his party's position regarding the transfer of power was the same as had been stated in March last after the Army action in East Pakistan.

He had said that at that time the sooner power was transferred to elected representatives with the Government with the objective of starting dialogue with the people of East Pakistan in order to resolve crisis. The PPP was of the view that if this was not done, the crisis would be further aggravated.

He said it was September now and the position taken by the PPP in March last now seemed to be appreciated.

He said his party welcomed the appointment of Dr. Malik but it was its duty to put before the people its point of view to clarify the position.

The PPP chief said that his party's understanding of democracy was National Assembly session by elections constitutional rule.

This (appointment of Dr. Malik as Governor of East Pakistan) with all due respect is not a move towards restoration of democracy.

Mr. Bhutto said that the time was of the essence in such matters which had been lost. When the crisis was total no half measures could resolve it, he added.

We want to move towards genuine transfer of power which should be full, complete and total he added.

Mr. Bhutto said that by civilianization he meant that the elected representatives should be given their due responsibilities in the Government.

He was of the view that the 88 MNAs elect of the defunct Awami League who had been cleared by the Government should be brought forward and given their due responsibilities.

Turning to West Pakistan, Mr. Bhutto said that in view of Dr. Malik's appointment there was no reason to dealy the transfer of power here.

He said he was not after office but the people wanted that the PPP should assume power to solve their problems.

He, however, clearly stated that We want genuine authority to discharge our duty. We want full and complete transfer of power. We do not want that we should be consulted only in the appointment of Governors, he added.

He said that let the four Governors in West Pakistan continue for another two months till genuine transfer of power has taken place. "We must towards genuine transfer of power which should be full, complete and total," he added.

Mr. Bhutto said that for the last two months he had made it clear that a final conclusion regarding the transfer of power should reach soon for the interest of the people and the country.

He said it was his impression that president Yahya " by himself is ready to move forward but certain mystifying factors appeared when meetings took place at "other levels" which reversed the process.

He said, he would shortly go to Rawalpindi along with his aids for productive meetings in the national interest. "We will take every effort that it succeeds but in case of failures the responsibility will not be ours."

Mr. Bhutto said that the PPP had made every effort and exercised great patience to make the negotiations a success but "Political strength to solve the presents crisis, but time was of the essence."

He told a questioner that he would make his party's views on the future constitution of Pakistan public. Sometime during current month.

Replying to another question he said that PPP has on action programme to solve the problems of the people.

It had already worked out detailed concrete proposals in all spheres and was not unprepared to assume responsibilities.
