Mirza Tahir Ahmad 's role in Pakistan's 1970 elections and advisor to Z A Bhutto edit
In 1970 Pakistan held its first elections based on universal franchise. Ahmadiyya Community was concerned about the rise of orthodox Islamic parties like Jamaat-i-Islami and Jamiat-i-Ulama-i-Islam. These parties wanted to declare Ahmadiys to be non-Muslims and to relegate the community to minority status. Ahmadiyya Jamaat supported Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's secular left party, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). According to one of the founding fathers of PPP, Mubashir Hasan:
"Mirza Tahir Ahmed, a brother of Mirza Nasir Ahmed, the head of the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya, was quite close to Bhutto and would frequently visit him. The network of the Jamaat’s followers was a big source of information. Mirza Nasir Ahmed also remained a de facto adviser of Bhutto, even after the latter came into power." [1] In answer to another question Mubasshir Hasan said; Mirza Tahir Ahmed and the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya helped the PPP a lot in the election campaign and selection of candidates in Punjab. Mirza Tahir Ahmed had considerable information on the ‘electables’ in different constituencies across the Punjab. Three people selected PPP’s candidates in Punjab, Mustafa Khar, Mirza Tahir Ahmed and myself. Kausar Niazi fought the election from jail and won. His entire campaign was run by the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya. [2]
This is further confirmed by Rafi Raza, Special Assistant to Z A Bhutto in his book, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Pakistan, 1967-1977, p. 33. However, things changed as according to Mubashir Hasan it was under pressure from Saudi Arabia Bhutto distance himself from the Ahmadiyyis. In 1974 the Pakistani Parliment declared Ahmadies as non-Muslim. Mirza Tahir Ahmad requested a meeting but Z A Bhutto did not meet with him.

Not done. I only see one reference here, used twice. Article content, especially contentious ones, must use secondary sources, and this single reference is an interview, which is a primary source. Please find more reliable sources. ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk) 05:23, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
