Addressing a public meeting here, the prime minister said the Pakistan People’s Party, being an ideological party, has roots among the masses and it derives its strength from them. Earlier, he inaugurated various development projects and laid the foundation stones for a number of other schemes.
Gilani said those who are demanding early elections would fail. He said these would be held on time, and the PPP would seek a fresh mandate from people in 2013 on the basis of its performance.
The prime minister said only people’s power could ensure success of any political party in elections. “We are committed persons and will remain with you today and in future also,” the prime minister told the gathering. Gilani said every party needs workers, but the PPP workers are priceless, who remained committed to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who sacrificed his life for the masses.
About formation of new political parties, and talking of revolutions, Gilani said revolution is only possible with the support of masses, adding that these new entrants in politics did not have any support from the people of Pakistan. He said ‘Fasli Batairay’ (opportunists) could not bring about any revolution in the country and they were just misguiding the masses. He said some parties came to power on crutches of the establishment, but they washed away because they did not have roots among masses.
The prime minister said except for the PPP, all other parties are in conflict with each other. He said all major political parties like Pakistan Muslim League-Q, Awami National Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement were cooperating with the PPP. “It is our power that we are going along with all parties through reconciliation,” he added.
The prime minister said an agreement has been signed with Indonesia under which duty on export of Kinno has been waived off. This would help increase its export. He said development schemes worth Rs5.5 billion have been completed in power and gas sectors.
The prime minister said other political parties were misguiding masses. He said the new political parties did not have any concrete programme and manifesto. He said Baitul Maal has been directed to give sewing machines to deserving women to help them make an honourable living. He directed the Baitul Maal to provide free treatment facility to a handicapped girl and another ailing person. The prime minister said Rs3.5 billion projects have been completed in Sargodha in electricity and gas by the present government. The prime minister announced upgradation of the medical college to a teaching hospital in Sargodha.
