      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Sindh government has declared Friday, April 4, a public holiday to mark the 46th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and former prime minister.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A notification from Sindh Chief Secretary Asif Haider Shah confirmed that all provincial government offices, as well as autonomous bodies, corporations, and local councils under the provincial government, will remain closed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To commemorate Bhutto’s death anniversary, the PPP will host a condolence gathering in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, expected to draw party workers and supporters from across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, President Asif Ali Zardari awarded Pakistan’s highest civil honour, the Nishan-e-Pakistan, to the late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, recognizing his exceptional contributions. The award was received by Bhutto’s daughter, Sanam Bhutto, during a ceremony at Aiwan-i-Sadr.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event was attended by notable figures such as Senate Chairman Yousuf Raza Gilani, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, and First Lady Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari, honouring individuals for their remarkable achievements in various fields.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="blockquote-level-1"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;Supreme Court reserved its opinion on presidential reference against Zulfiqar Bhutto’s execution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="blockquote-level-1"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;Zulfiqar Bhutto Jr confirms entry into politics, calls Punjab’s canal project ’cultural genocide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="blockquote-level-1"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;President honours military officers for outstanding service to national defence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
