Provincial Minister for Excise and Taxation Mukesh Kumar Chawla on Tuesday said the present government believed in democratic norms and every one has the right of freedom of expression. The government would face all such undemocratic forces boldly, the minister said while talking to media persons on Tuesday here at his camp office. Chawla said the Pakistan People’s Party was united under the leadership of President Zardari and was not afraid of anybody. The PPP saved Pakistan and it knew how to save it. Those who are willing to do the long march should fulfill their desire, he added. The provincial minister said: “Government always welcomes healthy criticism. Millions young people were provided jobs. Steps were taken to eradicate corruption.” Chawla said no other party except PPP had served the people and no other political party could compete with them in respect of sacrifices and services. “Pakistan is passing through a critical juncture. This time demands all political parties to prepare themselves for election but not for the long march. They should avoid blame game and motivate their workers to cast their votes in elections”, he said.
