Summary PM Raja Pervez Ashraf has said that the masses will decide about the next government.
Addressing at a dinner arranged in honour of members of the National Assembly, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf said that it was for the first time in the history of Pakistan that a democratically elected government has completed its constitutional term.
He also said that transfer of power in a peaceful and democratic manner to the next government would be another milestone in the political history of the country.
He said the National Assembly was going to complete its term on March 16 and added the government has always been committed to holding elections on time and create history by ensuring the transfer of power by a political government as required under the Constitution.
“We can take pride that we are delivering on this commitment. I am sure that this would go a long way in strengthening democracy in this country,” he said.
“Let me say that our Government never betrayed the people because our roots are in the masses. The Government has been in office since 2008 and has introduced many wide ranging structural reforms in political, economic, constitutional and social disciplines,” the Prime Minister said.
He said during its tenure, the Government undertook record development schemes worth billions of rupees throughout the country which was unprecedented in the last 65 years. Not only the Constitution of 1973 was restored in its original form, rather we went a step further by devolving powers to the provinces.
