Sindh announces public holiday for April 4

In honor of the late Prime Minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the Sindh government has declared April 4 as a public holiday. This decision, aimed at commemorating Bhutto’s death anniversary, underscores his lasting impact on Pakistani politics. All government offices, autonomous bodies, corporations, and local councils across Sindh will be closed on April 4, except those involved in essential services. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a towering figure in Pakistani politics, served as Prime Minister from 1973 to 1977, leaving an indelible mark through his socio-economic reforms. This announcement not only highlights Bhutto’s enduring legacy but also showcases Sindh’s reverence for its political icon. Additionally, April 1 has been designated as a public holiday for the Christian community in observance of Easter, further emphasizing the region’s rich cultural and religious diversity.
