Defiant PPP ready to face new centers of power
ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leadership on Tuesday decided to fully resist all the new centers of power confronting parliament within the limits of law and constitution.
The decision was made in a meeting of senior PPP leaders and federal ministers chaired by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf at the Presidency.
Briefing journalists about the meeting, President’s Spokesman Senator Farhatullah Babar said that the meeting discussed the current situation in the country with focus on preparation for elections, overcoming energy crisis and the legal challenges before the government. He said that the president called upon the party leadership to gear up preparations for the future elections which the president emphasized would be held on time in accordance with the constitutional and legal dictates and in consultation with coalition partners.
He said that the Election Commission had announced completion of electoral rolls
which were on display and advised the party leadership to ensure that every MNA‚ MPA and ticket holder thoroughly checked voter-lists so that no one was left out, and reported any discrepancy to the Election Commission for rectification.
He asked party leaders to reach out to masses and address their problems. The president said that holding of next general elections on time at the end of the tenure by the present assemblies would be another important milestone in the nation’s journey towards strengthening of democracy and further strengthening of the political process.
Zardari said that the PPP believes in the power of the people and has never been shy of reverting to the people for endorsement of its policies. He said that the party believed in free, fair and transparent elections for which it was important that the electoral rolls should be free of errors and no eligible voter was left out of the list.
The spokesman said that the Minister for Water and Power Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar briefed the meeting about the energy situation in the country. The minister said that in view of the critical nature of the power issue and the problems faced by the people, the repair work of the high voltage pylons in Muzaffargarh was done on war footing and the disrupted power restored to the national grid. He said that with necessary financial resources being put in place for the fuel and expected rise in water level of the dams, the power generation would further improve.
The meeting was informed about the progress with regards to implementation of the cabinet decision about zero duty on the import of solar panels. He said that solar based energy would significantly reduce the pressure on the power sector. In addition to this, work on small dams in various parts of the country was also being done on priority basis.
Law Minister Farooq H Naek briefed the meeting on the legal challenges and the strategy to confront them. The meeting expressed satisfaction with the strategy and determined to resist within bounds of law and constitution. It said that the law making was a sacred responsibility of legislature which would not be abandoned at any cost. The meeting also reposed full confidence in President Zardari and Prime Minister Ashraf’s leadership.
Those who were present during the meeting included among others PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Amin Fahim, Naveed Qamar, Rehman Malik, Senator Farooq H Naek, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, Qamar Zaman Kaira, Makhdoom Shahabuddin, Ahmed Mukhtar, Senator Mian Raza Rabbani, Senators Jahangir Badar and Sardar Ali Khan.

zardari is a dog which makes his dead wife a B I T C H. Jiayals are illegitimate offsprings of monkeys. Thats all I have to say on this topic today.
zardari must have naked pictures of the wives and daughters of all his cabinet members. How else could this uneducated, high school drop out have so much control over his party leadership.
One day zardari will be tried for treason and his sindhi ass will hang upside down on a light pole. I will be there to watch it
daddy please take me along to watch the episode
Festivities will start three days before the actual event. Bring you dog along. zardari's dead body will be used as a hydrant afterwards
Inshallah that day is near!
PPP must stand to protect the Constitution from mischievous machinations of those presiding over unconstitutionally in the SC building and doing business by showing their official residences as offices of their fake companies. Just look at Chaudhry Double PCO. He has Arsalan doing business using address of CJ House. What a shame for him and his crony judges? At least other judges should pass an order to throw him out. But they will not. They are all parties to the crime with the same agenda.
Parliament which framed Constitution and makes laws is supreme. Parliament better understands the sense of what they legislate. The Supreme Court's power to interpret has to be clipped because these judges are bent upon misinterpreting. Article 248 is a clear example. Its language is crystal clear. It was not followed at the time NRO judgement was issued.
Down with the present judiciary! Long live Faisal Raza Abidi!
Daddy you are right, punjabis judges, army, anchors and politicians (imran and Nawaz) and DPC shall throw this Sindhi..
