Power resides with people: Zardari

President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday said power belongs to people, adding that a leader has to go to public to become a peoples leader.Addressing a large public gathering in connection with 43rd Foundation Day of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in Karachi, President of Pakistan and Co-chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Asif Ali Zardari said PPPs government had, for the first time, sought pardon from the people of Balochistan and given them Balochistan empowerment package. He stressed the need to bring all issues to parliament instead of accusing any party. Today, if we have power, its because the public have given mandate to Pakistan Peoples Party. Now the government has right to complete its tenure.Accusing the media and some politicians for efforts to destabilize the system he said, We are proud that nobody except political actors want to derail the system. President Asif Ali Zardari said the political actors thought they could snatch rights of people from them through acting. Let me clear you, dont believe these political actors. We know these politicians especially those sitting in TV shows are wasting their own and our time. He said, We are not afraid of any conspiracy and will fight against any such act as God has given us the opportunity to serve the people.Zardari reiterated that it was for the first time in Pakistans history that more than 2 million people were displaced and returned to their homes without any major problem. He maintained that public would benefit from democracy and vowed to continue supporting the people. President said, we are happy to see public gatherings of opposition parties also as this is real democracy, wherever we see democracy, we see Bhuttoism. He said people who used to receive money for public appearance, now had to visit slums to get votes as Bhuttoism had empowered the people of this country. Pakistan has been stabilized by PPP and we will continue to do so. Our own existence and politics of every kind is bound with Pakistans existence, he added. Zardari said he often listen to public opinion and act accordingly even sitting in the Presidency. He congratulated the public for successfully holding Gilgit-Baltistan elections. Even there we hear slogans of Jiay Bhutto, and we receive votes because of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto even today. Zardari said, Why Benazir Bhutto came to Pakistan despite knowing that her life was in danger, she just came to save Quaid-e-Azams Pakistan.
