LAHORE: The leaders of Pakistan People’s Party have said that the election of PPP Co-chairman, Asif Ali Zardari will strengthen the Parliament and uphold its supremacy.

The PPP leaders including Munir Ahmed Khan, Aziz-ur-Rehman Chaman and Malik Aiwan stated this while addressing a press conference here on Sunday.

They said the President is part of the Parliament and now the Presidency will be occupied by a person who is not only a veteran politician but also rendered sacrifices for the cause of democracy. He also served in jail but never made any compromise with the dictator, they added.

Asif Zardari saved PPP from disintegration after the ‘Shahadat’ of Ms Benazir Bhutto.
