KARACHI, Oct 9: People’s Party Parliamentarians chief Makhdoom Amin Fahim has warned the regime that if it tried to subvert the will of people, the entire nation will strongly react to it.

In a statement he said that no one would be allowed to manipulate the ballot.

He said his party did not recognize the right of an individual or the Supreme Court to amend the Constitution. He said the LFO-2002 was beyond the ambit of the apex court’s judgement in Zafar Ali Shah case.

He warned that efforts to mutilate and finally do away with the 1973 Constitution were fraught with grave danger because in the days ahead it would not be possible to have a similar consensus document. It is, therefore, necessary for the political forces to defend the 1973 Constitution, he added.

He urged the rulers to understand that transparent, free and fair elections were need of the hour as the country was passing through a very critical juncture.

Makhdoom Amin Fahim said despite years of repressive policies adopted by the rulers, the PPP has chosen the course for restoration of democracy and for protection of the people’s sovereignty.

He was of the view that in view of undemocratic measures being adopted by the regime political instability would increase if elections were not free and transparent.
