By Hina Kiyani
ISLAMABAD—Information Secretary of Pakistan Peoples Party, Sherry Rehman
has said that her party wanted to observe peaceful demonstration in
Liaquat Bagh but the Government by using all machinery to stop the
public gathering proved that it is against the democracy.
Talking to media men here on Friday, the Information Secretary of PPP
has vowed to continue struggle for the restoration of democracy in the
country and said the Government by adopting negative tactics cannot
suppress their resolve in this regard.
She said that over 3,000 PPP workers were arrested by the Government to
stop them from participating in the Liaquat Bagh public gathering.
Commenting on the negotiations with the Government, Sherry Rehman said
PPP started the talks for the restoration of the democracy but no talks
are underway at the moment.
She said that President Musharraf should leave the post of Army Chief
and hold the general elections in time, adding other demands include
lifting of the emergency and withdrawing of Provincial Constitutional
Order (PCO) and reinstatement of all deposed judges to their posts
including Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary.
PPP Information Secretary said that her party wants democracy in the
country and all the political parties should support the party in its
struggle for the restoration of the democracy. |
