"The Supreme Court short order today declaring the November 3, 2007 actions of General Pervez Musharraf (Retd) as unconstitutional is a victory of the democracy and democratic principles, a stinging negation of dictatorship and is most welcome," said President Zardari in his reaction on the judgement of the Supreme Court.
The short verdict as has become known thus far declaring actions of November 3, 2007 as unconstitutional is what the PPP and President Asif Zardari has all along maintained against the dictatorship of General Musharraf, said Farhatullah Babar, spokesman to the President in a statement.
Farhatullah Babar recalled that soon after the November 3 declaration of emergency the former Prime Minister and Chairperson of the party Benazir Bhutto cut short her visit to Dubai and rushed to Pakistan to challenge the emergency and dictatorship even at the risk of her life.
The negation and rejection of dictatorship and its actions of November 3, 2007 today by the Supreme Court is a triumph of the principles for which the party fought and its Chairperson Benazir Bhutto and countless workers laid down their lives, he added. He said that as details of the judgement are still awaited it is premature to comment on it in detail at this stage.
