ISLAMABAD : Pakistan People’s Party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday announced that the government will provide residential plots in Federal Capital and government jobs to the families of those PPP workers who lost their lives in two terrorism incidents in the twin cities. He was addressing a meeting of the families of PPP martyrs here. The meeting was organised to pay tributes to the PPP workers who lost their lives on December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi when a terrorist strike resulted in the Shahadat of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and 24 PPP workers. In another incident on July 17, 2007, 18 PPP workers lost their lives when a suicide bomber hit the PPP camp established to welcome the then deposed Chief Justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry.
Asif Zardari while saluting the sacrifices of the PPP workers said that the party had great regard for its workers and understands that they are the real strength of the party. He said that PPP’s history is full of those brave men and women who have laid down their lives for the greater cause of democracy.
He said that the PPP’s fight is for taking revenge on a system that is unjustified to the weak, poor and downtrodden and our revenge will be in the shape of changing this system. He hoped that the history will bear testimony to PPP’s success in taking such a revenge.
Zardari said that some people were mistaken in their perception that PPP’s strategy reflects some kind of weakness on its part. “We believe in thinking about the long term impact of our policies and reforming the state structure instead of sloganeering alone”, he added.
He said that Benazir Bhutto’s martyrdom was an unbearable loss but she had left a message in her demise for all workers of PPP and that was to follow the path which she led in her life.
