Islamabad: Former President of Pakistan and President Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP), Asif Ali Zardari paid glowing tributes to Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto on her martyrdom anniversary.

He reiterated his resolve of continuing the struggle to rid the country from poverty, financial instability and unemployment.

Zardari said that the country is dearer to us than our lives. We will not compromise on its freedom, dignity and respect. He said that today, the country is going through a dangerous situation, the economy, foreign affairs and law are all going through turmoil. He said that it pains him to see that the poor are suffering and have been deprived of the fruits of democracy.

Asif Ali Zardari said that since 2013, there have been constant attacks on the authority, honour and dignity of the parliament, and PPP has been resisting them.

He said that the leadership of PPP saved and rebuilt the country after devastation in the past, and will do the same now. Patience and endurance are not our weaknesses but our principles. He said that “we will not let Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s great sacrifice go in vain.”
