| Abstract | This paper analyzes to what extent the elected landed interests influenced the legislative process at the national level in Pakistan during the premiership of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1972-1977). Interestingly, in contrast to his promise of curtailing the power of the landed aristocracy, a large number of members of his party, Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP), as well as National Assembly of Pakistan was landed aristocrats. An analysis of the debates of the National Assembly reveals that these aristocrats played a significant role in improving the plight of the poor people through legislation at the national level. Besides introducing land reforms to decrease the influence of the landed class, these legislations gave property rights to the people living in Katchi Abadis. |
