KARACHI Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairmen Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari have pledged to continue the struggle for democracy, constitutional supremacy and human rights despite the “high-handedness of the puppet regime.”
In his message to party workers on the 53rd Founding Day of the PPP, Zardari said that there will never be any compromise on the rule of people and the supremacy of parliament. He said that the time has come to achieve the rule of the people and supremacy of the parliament. The struggle has started and we will achieve this goal, he vowed.
He said the PPP remains steadfast in the ideology of the PPP founder Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto who offered a supreme sacrifice for these ideals. He lauded the sacrifices of PPP workers in this struggle.
Zardari said that PPP will continue to resist the effort to impose anti-people ideology on Pakistan and its people. The PPP believes in the power of the people and whenever comes to power works for the benefit of the people, he said.
“This selected government has started sacking government employees and conspiring to snatch the right of pension from the government employees,” he said. “The selected government has usurped the political rights of the people and weakened the parliament. The PPP will resist any effort to disfigure the constitution of Pakistan by this selected government,” he said.
Zardari asked the party workers to liberate the country from the shackles of anti-people forces and take the party’s message to every corner of the country
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that party leadership and workers braved the worst dictators and intimidation, torture and imprisonments for the cause of democracy and a stronger Pakistan.
Bilawal said that PPP has been the pioneer of democratic struggle and continues to play its role as the torchbearer of democracy, human rights and equality through the supremacy of the constitution and parliament.
He said that reports of intimidation, arrests, and physical torture on PPP workers ahead of the Foundation Day rally in Multan has proven that the government in an reincarnation of dictatorship.
“PPP has fought against dictators for five decades and defeated them with the unflinching support of people. It is now selected and puppets turn to taste defeat and forever be buried in the political graveyard of their predecessors,” he added.
He said that his party has invited entire leadership of PDM to the rally in Multan and every democratic worker will reach the venue despite brutal highhandedness of the regime.
Bilawal, who has tested positive for COVID-19 and is in isolation, said Aseefa Bhutto Zardari will represent him at the Multan Jalsa and would welcome all the PDM leaders.
