ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Saturday said that
today the leaders of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) would sacrifice of
their lives; rather workers.
Addressing a gathering in
Jaranwala, the prime minister said that there are many who are talking
about change and revolution in the country, however, the politician who
brought revolution in Pakistan are Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
He said that today the people have not
given the chance to those who are raising slogan of change and
revolution. Gilani maintained that Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto struggled for
the freedom of the media and judiciary and we, also, will have been
serving the people as per Mohtarma’s manifesto. "We would continue to do
so we remain in power or not," he added.
While attributing the
sacrifices and confidence of PPP workers, the prime minister said, “We
are proud of our PPP workers and their sacrifices.” The massive progress
which has been made in our regime is not carried out in previous
regimes, he added.
The PPP workers have never been sold and
frightened, he said. PPP is the only party that has rendered so many
sacrifices, the premier said.
