The PPP restored the 1973 Constitution in its original form, hoisted the national flag again in Swat, gave autonomy to the provinces, and 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.

President 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.

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.

CM Ch Parvez Elahi felicitates Imran Khan on election success 

Lahore, October 17, 2022 (PPI-OT):Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi congratulated PTI chairman Imran Khan and the successful candidates for their success in the by-elections.

In a statement issued on Monday, the CM said that in the political history of Pakistan, a candidate has never won six seats in the national assembly at the same time. Imran Khan’s victory is Pakistan’s victory and the results have proved that Imran Khan is the most popular leader of Pakistan, he said. The results are writing on the wall for the PDM as Imran Khan has clean-bowled the 13-party alliance.

The people have hammered the last nail in the coffin of the corrupt elements, he maintained. The people have full confidence in the leadership of Tehreek-e-Insaf and they have rejected the imported government by the power of their votes, he concluded.
