Karachi, April 09, 2023 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan People’s Party and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the 1973 Constitution is our national agenda and bond of the Federation. In his message on the Golden Jubilee of the 1973 Constitution issued from Media Cell Bilawal House, the PPP Chairman has extended heartiest congratulation to entire nation on the occasion. He said that the Constitution of 1973 is the gift and trust of the first elected Prime Minister of the country, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and saluted all the political leaders who played their role in creating a unanimous Constitution for the nation adding that after August 14, 1947, the second most important day in our national history is April 10, 1973.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the Constitution of 1973 is a true reflection of Pakistan. As Pakistan is a Federal state, our Constitution is a Federal Constitution. Our country is an Islamic country, so the spirit of our constitution is Islamic teachings. We are a country of democrats, so ours is a democratic Constitution and is the guarantee of our national solidarity and unity, he added.
The PPP Chairman said that ever since the Constitution was made, it has been under attack. He said that some elements do not tolerate that the people get their rights, that the provinces own their resources, and that all are equal before the law. The approach that considers itself beyond the law considers the 1973 Constitution as its enemy. He said that the history of PPP in terms of making and safeguarding the Constitution is unparalleled. Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari restored the 1973 Constitution to its original form by successfully removing the dictatorial pollution enacted into the Constitution by dictators Zia-ul-Haq, by General Pervez Musharraf.
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the PPP stands by the protection and implementation of the Constitution and the democratic system as always, and is determined to finally defeat the thinking that considers the Constitution as just a piece of paper.
