The lawmakers from the treasury benches on Saturday called the presidential address a landmark achievement, which they believed would strengthen democratic process in the country.
Awami National Party (ANP) President Asfandyar Wali Khan said President Asif Zardari’s speech was reflective of a joint vision of the coalition partners.
“We welcome this speech. However, it is disturbing that those who have been criticising the president throughout the entire year could not even listen to him,” he added.
Commerce Minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim said President Zardari’s fifth address to the joint parliamentary session would help strengthen the democratic process in the country. He said the problems faced by the government were grave, adding that the next government would resolve them.
Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majid termed the speech a ‘national address’ and said this would strengthen the democratic process in the country. Muttahida Qaumi Movement lawmaker Dr Farooq Sattar said the country’s prosperity lies in a strong democratic system and the president’s fifth address would further strengthen the system.
Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leader Faisal Saleh Hayat said the president had given a roadmap to the government. He said the president had become the first elected president to address parliament five times. ANP lawmaker Bushra Gohar said the president should be congratulated for addressing parliament for the fifth consecutive year.
