Sindh Minister for Food Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar has said that Pakistan is passing through a critical juncture and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will not allow any adventurer to derail the hard-earned democracy through agitation.
Talking to media persons on Tuesday, Jam Mehtab said anti-democracy forces wanted to push the country back into the dark era of dictatorship but the PPP would not permit any one to do so because his party had rendered great sacrifices by struggling against dictators for more than two decades.
He added Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and many party workers laid down their lives for the cause of the democracy in the country. Expressing serious concern over prevailing political situation in the country, he said the elements hatching conspiracies against democracy were in collusion with anti-democracy elements and they should not move towards confrontation.
Jam Mehtab was of the opinion that advisors of the federal government were incapable of the handling situation and the prime minister should get rid of them.
“The PPP believes in democratic norms and will always work in the interests of the country and masses,” he added.
