On the occasion of the International Day of Parliamentarism, Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has paid rich tribute to the democratic aspirations of the people of Pakistan and reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the supremacy of Parliament as the true voice of the nation.
\n He said that Parliament is not merely a structure of bricks and stone; it is the embodiment of the people\u2019s will, the sanctuary of their hopes, and the guardian of their freedoms. \u201cEach elected voice in Parliament echoes the struggle and sacrifices of our people, especially the countless martyrs of democracy, including Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto,\u201d he said.
\nBilawal said that strong, independent, and inclusive Parliaments are essential for peace, justice, and sustainable development. \u201cWe must never allow anyone to undermine the sanctity of the legislature. The history of Pakistan has taught us that every time Parliament is weakened, the people suffer. Every time it is silenced, the nation pays a heavy price,\u201d he warned.
\n He called upon all democratic forces to unite in defending parliamentary traditions and in restoring Parliament to its rightful place at the heart of national decision-making. \u201cAs a young democrat, I see Parliament as the place where dreams of equality, justice, and dignity for every Pakistani can be shaped into law,\u201d he added.
\n Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated his party\u2019s resolve to continue the legacy of Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who both gave their lives standing tall for parliamentary democracy. \u201cLet this day remind us that the Parliament is not just a chamber of debate\u2014it is the beating heart of our republic. To protect it is our sacred duty,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
