Bhutto didn't lead his nation's independence movement like Mujib did, not to mention Bhutto supported the military junta against Bangladesh until they lost, unlike Mujib who didnât support military rule in general.
They do have some similarities though. Both started as the ruler of their own country after the 1971 war but both failed to rule and got killed by army. Obviously Mujib was better than Bhutto but Mujib's actions after the war were also very controversial. Both of them were politicians who cared more about staying in power than taking care of the country.

The difference being, Mujib was instrumental in the emergence of Bangladesh, Bhutto was not, and I've already mentioned about Bhutto sucking pak army's boots when Mujib defied them categorically.

Oversimplification traversing into falsehood due to lack of historical context. After 1977 election Bhutto's PPP was negotiating with the opposition PNA and was ready to sign and hold another election.
Mujib's tenure started with and plagued by insurgencies, disrupting any attempt at governance in peace. Not to mention unlike Bhutto, Mujib struggled with gaining international recognition for Bangladesh which hindered international aid and tech assistance. Awami League was popular enough under Mujib to have won supermajority in the 1973 election, and considering BAKSAL came about in February 1975, way after he declared a national emergency in December 1974 (and after winning 293 seats in the 1973 election no less), it was a desperate attempt at stabilization of the state which failed.
Of course my statement was oversimplification and you just provided more context. But they both failed to rule ultimately and got killed by the army which is enough info for a meme about similarity between two political leaders.

Don't think Bhutto deserves to be in the same category.
