President Zardari vows to defeat non-state actors

NAUDERO: President Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday said non-state actors were trying to break Pakistan and institutions were being pitted against each other, but vowed that every sacrifice would be rendered to protect democracy.

Addressing a gathering here, marking the second death anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, President Zardari warned that anyone daring to cast an evil eye towards democracy will be severely dealt with.

�We have shed our blood for building our institutions and know how they have been built. We know what will happen when institutions clash and don�t want to enter into it.�

President Zardari said conspiracies were being hatched against the four provinces and the federation of Pakistan.

�But all these will be thwarted by the people of Pakistan,� the President said.
The President mentioned Iraq and Afghanistan and said �we know what happens when the institutions are weakened.�

�But we are not that weak,� the president said as the crowd raised slogans of �jeay Bhutto�.

President said he has faced jail for 11 long years and was not afraid of threats.

He said some say that he would leave the President House in an ambulance and will be out by December.

�But I want to know how do they know that?�

He said there were only two places where he could go and these were either the President House or jail.

�Don�t think that we are weak, or we cannot fight.�

He said it is being considered as his mistake that he spoke of �democracy as the best revenge,� but he vowed to continue on that path.

President Zardari described Garhi Khuda Bux as the �Karbala of PPP� and said it was a rallying point for Pakistan Peoples Party, but vowed that �democracy will not be buried here.�

He said the national flag was again fluttering in Swat and Malakand, the same places about which the Shaheed leader warned in her last speech in Rawalpindi.

He said there were still a lot of things to accomplish as poverty was still an issue and work had to be done for resolving the Kashmir dispute.

Dressed in a black shalwar kameez, with a picture of Benazir Bhutto at the podium, Zardari mentioned a series of measures taken by him and questioned why was he being targeted.

Actually that is very true. Zardari is literally destroying the PPP from top to bottom. He has sidelined all of Benazir's confidentes. He has kept the most corrupt people in power and he is doing absoutely nothing that truly benefits the country.

Gilani however is doing a damn fine job. If only they were more vigilant on issues like the shortages in gas, oil and power.

The superior judiciary has chosen to give voice to a growing undercurrent among the masses of the profligate and exploitative trends of the elite;** this country has been used by the elite to fill their coffers with ill-gotten wealth and stolen earnings. The masses and their country have been reduced to poverty while the elite have grown richer. The ruling elite borrows money in the name of the masses but end up misappropriating it to their own benefit. The masses get thrown the crumbs and scavenge for a living.** The superior judiciary could not align itself with the elite any longer and had to reflect on what the masses felt right, particularly after the popular surge that cushioned the lawyers’ struggle to restore the chief justice and his dismissed colleagues. The Supreme Court in its judgment on the NRO has been constitutionally correct and morally right — they have also made a popular decision. They cannot be faulted for being on the side of right. The elite reaction, howsoever expected, is misplaced and defiant — and hence morally wrong.

There have emerged four different barometers exhibiting the masses’ response and reaction to how the state and society are being governed. It has been usual till date, and a popular refuge at that, of the inefficient political governments to fall back on popular support in the electoral process and how their elections underwrite their populist credibility. The days of such carte blanche may well be over; a smoke wall cannot be built in the name of electoral justification around intrinsic failures of capability, intellectual capacity, performance, uninhibited corruption.

Zardari is a pig, he's responsible for the murder of innocent Pakistanis at the hands of American infidels.
