THIS is with reference to the letter `Mischaracterisation` (Jan 2). Regardless of what one might say, history cannot be distorted. The role of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in the Dhaka tragedy has been documented in various books.
Giving an interview to Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci sometime in 1974, Bhutto had confidently `predicted` that he would be the longest-serving ruler of Pakistan.
When the journalist asked the reasonfor his confidence, he replied: `I am young and healthy, I am popular, I have given a Constitution. Nobody is close to challenge me politically.` Little did the man know that in three years he would be no more.
