NAWABSHAH: President Asif Ali Zardari has said the government will continue to serve the people and complete its five-year tenure despite all attacks and attempts to corner it.
Addressing a gathering at the Zardari House here on Monday, he said every dictator had tried to harm the Pakistan People’s Party, but the country could not afford more of such misadventure.
He said the PPP never received justice, but people were always its source of strength.
He said ‘political actors’ were conspiring against the government because it was working for the welfare of the masses.The president said the nation was facing consequences of the mistakes committed by former president Farooq Leghari and former chief justice Sajjad Ali Shah.
He said that although ‘political actors’ were getting together the PPP government would complete its tenure.
He said the late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had preferred to earn a place in the history books and sacrificed his life for the cause of democracy, rather than live in palaces after making compromises. And because of that he is living in the hearts of the people.
President Zardari said the PPP was the party of the masses and its rivals were afraid that they would not be able to compete with it in the next elections if the government completed its term.
“Some elements are waging a propaganda against the government and some politicians are using public development projects to grab headlines,” he said.
He said that now even the dictator had been forced to call the late Benazir Bhutto a martyr.
The president inaugurated several projects in the town, including the Nawabshah-Sakrand dual carriageway, Qazi Ahmed-Sehwan overhead bridge, a women’s centre, Federal Lodge and a sports complex.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Communications Minister Arbab Alamgir, MNA Faryal Talpur and provincial ministers were present on the occasion.
