ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Saturday said that anyone intending to clinch power through backdoor channel will not succeed in their desire and that the PPP leadership was determined to hold free, fair and transparent elections so the people could choose their next government.
Addressing workers of the Pakistan People’s Party from (PPP) Gujar Khan here at the Prime Minister House, the Prime Minister said that the people would get an opportunity to decide who would run the government in future.
Raja Pervez Ashraf said,â€Election is our field and we are always ready to go into elections.†“Somebody else may be afraid of elections but we yearn for them as it is the only way for the Pakistan People’s Party to form governmentâ€, he added.
He said Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto came into power through elections. No dictator brought Benazir Bhutto into power and Asif Zardari became President with a two-third majority with support of the Parliament and ousted a dictator with support of people, he observed.
The Prime Minister said that the PPP came into power through ballot and formed governments in the provinces, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
