ISLAMABAD - Future of democracy in the country is bright due to awareness in the Parliament, political parties and the common masses to discourage any unconstitutional and undemocratic move, said Leader of the House Senator Raja Muhammad Zafarul Haq on Monday.
In an interview to the state-run TV channel, he said Pakistan was a democratic country as it was achieved through a democratic struggle and was based on a strong democratic system.
Except for occurrence of some incidents in history which disturbed the setup for the time being, none of the persons was there to believe that the country could be run smoothly without a powerful democracy.
He said Pakistan was a successful federation and its federating units were contributing positively to the smooth functioning of democracy. Its practical example, he added, could be seen in the form of Parliament, especially Senate where all the federating units were represented. There was no danger to the bright future of democracy in Pakistan, he asserted.
Speaking on the occasion, Pakistan People’s Party spokesman Farhatullah Babar said in the rest of the world democracy was the only force that was working successfully and people never thought of any other force to work in place of it. He averred democracy was the best force and solution to all the problems of the masses.
