No power can stop PPP to safeguard constitution, sovereignty of parliament: Asif Zardari
Violating the constitution will result in dire consequences for the country
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former president and Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday said that no power in the world can stop his party to safeguard constitution and the sovereignty of parliament.
In his message on Thursday, the former President said that 5th July is the black day in the history of the country, adding that on this day democracy was derailed and constitution was set aside. Not only that but the society was destroyed by promoting differences on the basis of religion, caste and creed. Kalashnikov and drugs were introduced in the society.
Zardari went on to say that with the help of allies the PPP succeeded in restoring the 1973 constitution through 18th amendment but we still have to defeat the mindset which is anti-democratic and extremist.
Today, all the progressive elements in the society vow to be steadfast in their resolve to keep rule of constitution and to make parliament sovereign, he said and added some elements want to do away the 18th amendment but PPP will never allow that to happen.
“Violating the constitution will result in dire consequences for the country as a strong and stable democracy guarantee a strong and stable Pakistan,” he added.
