Zardari: PPP Proved Critics Wrong By Curtailing Presidential Powers

BAHAWALPUR, Apr 22 (apakistannewss.blogspot.com) resident Asif Ali Zardari said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government proved its critics wrong as he gave up presidential powers and preserved rights of the people. Addressing the inaugural ceremony of Benazir Smart Card here at Ashrafabad, the President said 35 years ago Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto took forward the idea to bring power to the people. “We want to rule hearts of the people,” he said adding, “I did not stick to presidential powers and gave them back. Slogan of PPP is that people are the rulers.” He said for PPP leaders politics was worship and they embraced martyrdom and went to jails to preserve and protect rights of the people and their party lived on.
