PPP Co Chairman President Asif Ali Zardari and supreme commander of the armed forces have decided to address joint session of the Parliament after Muharram.
Under Article 56 (1) of the Constitution, the President may address either House or both Houses assembled together and may, for that purpose require, the attendance of the members, Spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said.
Farhatullah Babar said that the President also called upon the Party workers to show patience, strictly observe democratic norms and refuse to be provoked into any aggression.
Aggression is the mindset of the weak and not the strong, he quoted the President as saying.
Democracy calls for tolerance, patience and steadfastness as demonstrated by Aung San Suu Ki in standing up to mountains of hardship for the cause, the President was quoted.
The time and date of address to the joint session after Muharram will be announced separately by the government.
