SC’s decision accepted for democracy’s sake: President Zardari

Islamabad: (Wednesday, June 20, 2012) President Asif Ali Zardari here today said that his party has accepted the judiciary’s decision over PM Yousuf Raza Gilani’s disqualification for continuation of the democratic process in the
country.

Zardari said this while chairing the parliamentary party meeting of Pakistan Peoples’ Party to discuss the situation arising out of Gilani’s disqualification by the apex court yesterday.

Expressing its complete confidence in President Asif Ali Zardari’s leadership, who is also the co-chairman of the PPP, the parliamentary party gave him the mandate to nominate the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.

A source quoted the meeting’s participants saying, “Your decision will be acceptable to us with a heart and soul.”

However, the parliamentary party did not suggest any name to be put in to the saddle for rest of the tenure of the party. Nor did they make a decision as to who will be filling in the National Assembly seat vacated by Yousuf Raza
Gilani.

During the meeting, the parliamentary party paid rich tribute to Yousuf Raza Gilani for his unprecedented services and loyalty to the party.

The president said, “We accepted the judiciary’s ruling for the continuity of democratic process in the country and we don’t want confrontation between institutions.”

At the end of the meeting, the co-chair of the PPP assured the participants that their party will assume any role for strengthening of democratic practices in the country.
