President Zardari vows not to betray elections

Talking to the media at Bilawal House in Lahore on Saturday, President Asif Ali Zardari said that he would not betray the democratic system. Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani would lead the election campaign, said the president. He said that Pak-Iran gas project would be completed at every cost. Nobody has power to halt it as it is not violation of the international laws; rather Pakistan has signed an agreement with the neighbouring country in order to cope with the challenge of energy crisis which has pushed our national economy on the verge of destruction. Commenting on Gwader project, the president said that Pakistan is an independent state and authorized to have a deal with any country of the world in order to watch its national interests. He said that future of the country lies in democracy which is real guarantor of common man’s rights in real sense. He added that he had a dream to have a residence in Lahore and now he fulfilled his desire by constructing Bilawal House in the city. He repeatedly said that he has great respect for media men and would hold monthly meetings with them.
