Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said today would be remembered in the nation’s history as a great day for democracy, adding that the assembly represented the people of Pakistan.
“This great display of strength will always be remembered. It makes me happy to think that this is the voice of the 200 million people of the country,” the premier said in his address to the National Assembly.
“I find it heartening when politicians say that they are fighting for democracy and not for a prime minister,” he said…MNAs voted on the resolution calling for their confidence in the assembly and the elected representatives of the people.”
“This is the triumph of a vision…which is not about individuals…governments come and go, prime ministers come and go but focusing on the principle of democracy and Constitution is a victory of the system, of democracy,” the prime minister said.
“I haven’t seen a similar example in the country’s history,” Nawaz told the House, adding that the fact that nine of out ten parties voted for the resolution supporting democracy was a historic moment for Pakistan.
“I am grateful that you have chosen me as the leader of the House…I vow never to hurt your sentiments,” he said.
