Islamabad: Former President Pakistan and President Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians, Asif Ali Zardari in his message on the occasion of the Karsaz tragedy has said that the PPP fulfilled the mission of its great leader Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.

The PPP restored the 1973 Constitution in its original form, hoisted the national flag again in Swat, gave autonomy to the provinces, gave identity to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The poor and deserving women were made partakers in the society through Benazir Income Support Program. The 18th Amendment guarantees the country’s survival and integrity.

Zardari said that “our struggle is for employment of the youth, economic prosperity and social justice. The PPP completed Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s mission by giving power back to the Parliament, that was stolen from it by dictators. A place such as Thar is contributing towards the progress of the country by generating electricity and illuminating the lives of the people.”

Paying homage to the martyrs of the Karsaz tragedy, Zardari said that their bravery, loyalty and steadfastness is exemplary. There is no other example of such a fearless act in political history, in which people sacrificed their lives to protect their great sister and leader.

Zardari said that democracy in the country was owed to the blood of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and the thousands of courageous Jiyalas.
