Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari said that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was a true democrat and an enlightened leader who advocated for human and religious freedom, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In his message on the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam, the former president said that the PPP was steadfast on its resolve to make Pakistan a democratic and welfare state.
He added that the PPP would continue defending freedom of expression and political and religious liberty in the country founded by Quaid-e-Azam.
He said that the 1973 Constitution given by Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was a guarantee of stability of the country. He said that efforts were being made to impose a certain ideology in the country in the guise of religion, which was contrary to the philosophy of Quaid-e-Azam and that could not be allowed under any circumstances.
