Zardari rolls up sleeves to end political conflicts

Challenges to be handled thru dialogue, negotiation: President

ISLAMABAD: PPP Co-Chairman and President Asif Ali Zardari said that the challenges of coalition politics will be handled with a sense of maturity through dialogue and negotiations. While paying tribute Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on his 83 birth anniversary, President Zardari said “Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto has taught us how to resolve complex political issues through dialogue” he said in a message on the 83rd birth anniversary of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Wednesday adding, “through dialogue we will also find a solution to the political challenges faced by the coalition.”

t was through dialogue that Shaheed Bhutto recovered the territory lost in the 1971 war, brought back ninety thousand prisoners of war and prevented the war trials of our military officers to protect the name and honor of the country, he said.

“Inspired by our great leaders we also employed dialogue for chasing a dictator out from the Presidency. Through dialogue and consensus the undemocratic Articles introduced into the 1973 Constitution have been removed and the democratic Constitution restored” he said.
The Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto responded to the political challenges of his time by awakening the people and giving them voice which no dictatorship has been able to stifle.
Using the tools of dialogue we will face all political challenges in a way that will further strengthen democracy and democratic institutions, the President said in his message.
On this birthday of our Shaheed Chairman our heads bow in gratitude that we have restored in a large measure the original Constitution given to the nation under his leadership in 1973, President Zardari said.
On this occasion I urge the valiant Party workers to rededicate themselves to the ideals of Bhutto and loudly proclaim to the world that Bhutto still lives in the hearts and minds of the people and, from his grave, haunts the enemies of democracy. My thoughts also go to innumerable Party workers who paid with their lives and liberty and endured torture and to keep the name of Bhutto and Bhuttoism alive. The Party will observe this birth anniversary with due solemnity in view of the tragic assassination of Governor Salman Taseer. The Party will observe a fifteen day mourning period.-NNI
