The PPP is committed to bringing about a change in the country through parliament and democratic means, says Punjab President Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo.
Addressing an Iftar dinner hosted in his honour by the Pakistani community in New York, he said the PPP did not agree with Dr Tahirul Qadri to bring about revolution through undemocratic and violent means because it was committed to the continuity of democracy and the supremacy of the Constitution.
He said he condemned the brutal use of force by the Punjab Police in which 12 Pakistan Awami Tehreek workers were killed and many injured. The Punjab government should face the consequences for its brutality against the innocent workers.
He predicted that Imran Khan would withdraw the long march call because the country was in a state of war. “Tsunami and military operation cannot go side by side at the same time,” he said.
He said the PPP was extending total support to the soldiers who were now fighting against terrorists in North Waziristan for the supreme cause of establishing the writ of the state.
Wattoo appreciated the overseas Pakistani for their contributions to keep the wheel of the economy of Pakistan running by sending billions of dollars back home.
