President Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) believed in fair and transparent polls and the upcoming general election would take place on time and not be delayed even by a “fraction of a moment”.
“The PPP has fortified democracy in the country by promoting politics of reconciliation and harmony. We have laid the foundation for a bright future of the people. We have never come to power through backdoors nor have we taken shelter from state institutions. The PPP believes in fair and transparent elections. Polls will be held as per schedule, which will not be delayed for an iota of a moment,” the president said while talking to PPP leader Abdul Qadir Shaheen at Bilawal House.
Zardari asserted that “we will again come to power with the help of our coalition partners on the basis of performance”, a statement issued by the Bilawal House said. On the occasion, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the party was “pursuing the manifesto and ideas of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto”. “Democracy has taken deep roots in the country and its fruits will trickle down to the coming generations,” he added.
Democracy is the key to the survival of the country, he observed, adding that it was a healer to every wound and solution to every problem. “Democracy is the will of the people and the present and future of the people depends on democracy,” he stressed.
“Transparent elections are guarantors of solidification of democratic order and it is sole right of people to elect those who they want to,” he held.
