ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has said that they could make Pakistan a developed country but they were not being allowed to work.
President Zardari was addressing a dinner hosted for the outgoing senators here at the Aiwan-e-Sadr on Thursday night. It was attended among others by Chairman Senate Farooq H. Naek, ministers, parliamentarians and outgoing senators.
Zardari said the outgoing senators will be remembered in the Parliamentary history as proud members of the parliament that unanimously removed the traces of dictatorships from the Constitution by passing the historic 18th and 19th Constitutional Amendments, besides making possible the realization of shared national ideal of restoring democracy by their wisdom and selflessness while being members of the upper House.
The Senate has been the fountainhead of political reconciliation in the country that was convincingly demonstrated while making critical legislation, he said.
The President said that the work of the senators and parliamentarians have enhanced the trust of the people not only in politicians, but also in the parliamentary democracy as a guardian of our national aspirations, which he said was no small achievement.
He said that the government was doing a lot on all fronts but much more needed to be done to face various challenges and put the economy on the fast track of growth and development. (Geo Urdu/APP)
