Mr. Kasuris law firm is of considerable repute. He is considered to be one of the best legal minds in Pakistan. Ahmed Raza Kasuri is a former Pakistani politician and lawyer who was the intended vicitm in the murder case that led to the execution of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.His father was killed in the car while sitting next to him (allegedly on Bhutto’s orders) in the early 1970s with bullets meant for him instead. He famously brought his father”s bloodstained clothes to the National Assembly and vowed revenge. Bhutto threatened to kill Kasuri after Kasuri was the only legislator from West Pakistan to acknowledge the democratically elected leader of Pakistan who was from East Pakistan. Bhutto could not accept the defeat hence threatened Kasuri. He made 15 attempts on Kasuri”s life; the fifteenth resulting in the death of Kasuri”s father who was in the car with Kasuri at the time. Kasuris father was allegedly murdered on the orders of Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1974. Bhutto was later arrested and convicted in 1979 by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Kasuri was driving and his father was sitting in the front seat when it was fired upon repeatedly in Shadman, Lahore. Kasuri showed considerable grit and drove his injured father straight to the United Christian Hospital in Gulberg, Lahore after the attack, even though the tires of his car had been blown out. He donated blood to save his father, but the injuries were too severe and his father died that night. Kasuri remained associated with an unknown political party Tehrik-e-Istiqlal for a period of time before withdrawing from politics. He is presently an advocate at the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He became prominent in 2007 when he joined the government”s legal team before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. After a debate on “The Great Debate” on GEO TV at 1905hrs at GEO TV on September 23, 2007, when Kasuri reached in front of Supreme Court for a case hearing on September 24, 2007 in the morning, Khurshid Ahmad, a lawyer belonging to NWFP province, spray painted his face black. Khurshid Ahmad later told the media that he did it because Kasuri was continuously abusing the legal community. He was the predictable victim in the assassinate case that directed to the implementation of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. His father was murdered in the car at the same time as sitting beside him (purportedly on Bhuttos instructions) in the early on 1970’s by bullets intended for him as a substitute. He remarkably conveyed his fathers bloody dress to the National Assembly and declared payback. Bhutto endangered to kill Kasuri after Kasuri was the just representative from West Pakistan to make out the separately voted leader of Pakistan who was from East Pakistan. Bhutto could not consider the beat therefore threatened Kasuri. He created fifteen efforts on Kasuris life; the fifteenth ensuing in the death of Kasuris father who was in the car with Kasuri at that time. He joined government legal team in 2007 and became renowned before the supreme court of Pakistan.
