THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Pakistan leader Ali Bhutto
calls for vote of confidence
0
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP)-
Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto, fighting a militant po-
litical opposition bent of bring-
ing him down, has announced
a nationwide referendum on
whether he should continue in
office with expanded powers
or be tossed out.
. "I go to the people and place
my fate in the hands of the
people," Bhutto declared yester-
day in an address to a cheering
National Assembly. Only mem-
bers of his own party attended
the session.
THE OPPOSITION Pakistan
National Alliance (PNA) imme-
diately denounced the proposal
as a bid by the embattled Bhut-
to to win the people's endorse-
ment of his "dictatorship." The
PNA said it would call for a
boycott of the vote.
Bhutto made his televised ad-
dress as it appeared that his
military support, crucial in poli-
tics here, was slipping. A key
general resigned his post yester-
day, apparently to protest Bhut-
to's policies.
As the PNA pressed its street
campaign to unseat Bhutto, po-
lice fired on a crowd of anti-
government demonstrators yes-
terday in the central Pakistani
city of Multan, killing one and
injuring 20, an informed source
reported.
SECURITY FORCES also fired
on protesters in Karachi, Paki-
stan's largest city, and reports
listed one person killed and five
injured.
About 275 persons have been
killed in eight weeks of political
violence in Pakistan.
The PNA began its campaign
of mass protests after the March
7 National Assembly elections,
claiming Bhutto's Pakistan Peo-
ple's party used massive vote
fraud to retain its parliamen-
tary majority. But the four-year-
old Bhutto government has also
come under increasing attack
as authoritarian and corrupt.
THE PRIME MINISTER did
not say when his planned ref-
erendum would be held. But he
made clear he intends to re-
shape the government and in-
crease his own powers if he
wins the backing of the people.
"The framework of the coun-
try, the structure of the coun-
try will have to be adjusted and
modified within the necessary
conditions and realities to be
able to meet all future crises
and future problems of Paki-
stan - according to our wisdom
and according to our judgment,"
he declared.
He said his talks with PNA
leaders failed to negotiate a
settlement to the political stand-
off. He said he could not agree
to the PNA's basic demands
that he resign and new elections
be held.
BHUTTO SAID he could not
agree to new general elections
at this time because of the cur-
rent political crisis and a "fore-
ign conspiracy" that he claimed
was being carried out against
Pakistan.
The prime minister charged
in a National Assembly speech
last month that the United
States was interfering in Paki-
stan's internal affairs by funnel-
ing large sums of money to the
opposition movement.
Yesterday in Tehran, Iran,
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
reiterated the U.S. denial of
Bhutto's charges. Nevertheless,
the allegation promises to be-
come a major issue in the ref-
erendum campaign.
