ISLAMABAD: A monument has been constructed in the Parliament House Lawn in Islamabad to pay tributes to unsung heroes of democracy.
It was jointly unveiled by Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani and Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq at a ceremony held on Friday morning.
In their speeches, the custodians of the two houses vowed to work together for supremacy of the Constitution, rule of law and strengthening of the democratic system.
Chairman Senate said no society can flourish if it does not remember its heroes and those who rendered sacrifices for the cause of the country, its values and democracy.
He regretted that in the past the state disfigured those sections of the society which were instrumental for the cause of rule of law, the constitution and the parliament.
He said it was duty of the Chairman Senate and the Speaker National Assembly to do something to pay tributes to these segments of the society.
