Zardari, Gilani welcome SC verdict

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani have welcomed the Supreme Court’s short order declaring the Nov 3, 2007, emergency unconstitutional and termed it a triumph of democratic principles.


‘The Supreme Court’s short order today declaring the Nov 3, 2007, actions of Gen Pervez Musharraf as unconstitutional is a triumph of democratic principles, a stinging negation of dictatorship and is most welcome,’ presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said in a statement.

He said that Pakistan People’s Party and President Zardari had all along maintained the same stance against the dictatorship of Gen (retd) Musharraf.
The spokesman said that after Nov 3, 2007, the late Benazir Bhutto had cut short her visit to Dubai and rushed to Pakistan to challenge the emergency and dictatorship even at the risk of her life.

The negation and rejection of dictatorship and its actions by the Supreme Court, he said, was a triumph of the principles for which the party had fought and its chairperson and countless workers laid down their lives.
He pointed out that details of the judgment were still awaited.—APP

Our Staff Reporter adds:
Prime Minister Gilani said the verdict was a good omen for the future of democracy.

Mr Gilani was presiding over a meeting on law and order and austerity measures when he was informed about the apex court’s judgment.
According to sources, the prime minister informed the chief ministers attending the meeting about it and they welcomed it as a historic event which would go a long way in strengthening judiciary and democracy.
