Sindh Govt Declares Public Holiday on April 4

The Sindh government has declared Friday, April 4, a public holiday to commemorate the 46th death anniversary of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) founder and former prime minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

A notification issued by the Sindh Chief Secretary confirmed that all government offices, autonomous bodies, corporations, and local councils across the province will remain closed on this day.

In remembrance of Bhutto’s legacy, PPP will hold a memorial gathering at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, with thousands of party workers and supporters from across the country expected to attend.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was executed on April 4, 1979, after a controversial trial, with his death sentence being upheld by then military ruler Gen. Ziaul Haq.

Bhutto was laid to rest in his ancestral graveyard in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, where his legacy continues to be honored each year.
