People are country’s real power: Bilawal Bhutto

Staff Writer

Karachi: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said this week that Pakistan is a country of democratic people but attacks have been carried out on Pakistan’s constitution ever since its formation.

Addressing a ceremony in Karachi, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman said the Sindh Assembly was the first to adopt the Pakistan resolution whereas the 1973 Constitution was given by former prime minister and PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

He said that it was because of the Constitution that the people have the right to vote but, ever since its inception, there have been efforts to rob people of it, adding that the Constitution had to go through many tough tests.

Bilawal Bhutto said that the Constitution is a contract between the state and its citizens, but added that if we keep fighting amongst ourselves, then others would continue to benefit from the situation. “We can only decide who will rule through the people’s vote,” he said.
