PPP Founding Day
Zardari pays rich tribute to workers
* Urges party to educate youth on origins of party and sacrifices
ISLAMABAD: On the eve of the 44th Founding Day of Pakistan People’s Party on November 30, President Asif Ali Zardari asked party leaders and office bearers to educate people particularly the younger generation about origins of PPP and its achievements and sacrifices for democracy.
“Let us on this day, reiterate our commitment to tread the footsteps of our leaders Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto to build a modern, progressive and democratic Pakistan in which poor, downtrodden and the marginalised sections of society, including the minorities will also live with honour and dignity,” he said.
He said the party has always served the masses with distinction and will continue to do so in the future as well.
The co-chairman recalled the achievements of the PPP during the past 40 years, including the unanimous 1973 Constitution, giving voice to the voiceless, strengthening defence through nuclear and missile technology and giving rights to the minorities, labour, women and the marginalised.
The present PPP-led government restored the 1973 Constitution through the 18th Amendment, took the terrorists head on, launched Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to alleviate poverty and empower women, made workers share holders in the state run enterprises, introduced far-reaching political reforms in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), announced far reaching reforms in the Tribal Areas and extricated the country out of near economic meltdown.
“These are no small achievements for any political party that does not have a parliamentary majority let alone a majority needed for amendments in the Constitution,” he said and asked the party office bearers to educate the people of Pakistan and especially the PPP workers about these great achievements. No matter what the detractors may say or do, Bhuttoism will continue to empower the people and extricate them from deprivation and despondency, he said. Zardari also paid glowing tribute to the party workers for their steadfastness and sacrifices. app

This is historical day as miss shermaila has written in her articale. It is true our beloved leaders have scarificed their lives for us. But ppp government has not help the poor people of Pakistan. People are sufferings because of high inflation and joblessness. There are not enough schools, no electricity, no medical facilities; and there is no hope for the people of Pakistan. Media is against ppp’s government but we cannot blame everthing on the media. Our ministers and leadership of ppp have not shown their seriousness and sincerity for solving the problems of pakistan.President Asif zardari is sitting in the President office and it seems, he has no care for his own countryman. He cannot be like a Bhutto or Benazire,but he should show some kind of respect to the people of Pakistan; before it will get too late for him. jaia bhutto
