April 1967, Bhutto founded the PPP with the aim of creating a political party

 

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto founded the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in April 1967, with the aim of creating a political party that would represent the interests of the people of Pakistan, particularly those who had been marginalized by the ruling elites.


Bhutto was a prominent figure in Pakistani politics at the time, having served as Foreign Minister and later as the Minister of Fuel, Power and Natural Resources in the government of President Ayub Khan. However, he became disillusioned with the ruling elite and the way they were running the country, and he felt that there was a need for a political party 

The PPP's founding manifesto called for social justice, equality, and the empowerment of the masses. The party's slogan, "Roti, Kapra, aur Makan" (Bread, Clothing, and Shelter), reflected its commitment to addressing the basic needs of the people.

The PPP quickly gained popularity, particularly among the working classes, students, and intellectuals, and in the 1970 general elections, the party won a majority of seats in the National Assembly. Bhutto became Pakistan's first democratically elected Prime Minister, and his government implemented a range of social and economic reforms aimed at improving the lives of the people.

Although Bhutto's time in office was marked by controversy and political unrest, the PPP remains an important political force in Pakistan today, continuing to advocate for social justice, democracy, and the empowerment of the masses.
