According to Indus Saga written by the PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan, the Sindhu is the name of an ancient civilisation, he said. After my first address to the elected Parliament, the non-state actors and anti-democratic forces carried out a bomb blast at the Marriot Hotel in Islamabad.
The recent bomb blast on Muharram procession on M A Jinnah Road and the loss of properties in the city was the reaction to his Naudero speech of December 27, 2009, he added. The Karachi bomb blast was a conspiracy against the country. Pakistan is our home and we are guards and have to safeguard the country, the president said.
However he made it clear that there was a complete harmony between the civil government and the military. Asif Zardari claimed that his government would transfer the royalty rights on natural resources to the provinces in the future. The ownership on all the natural resources particularly oil and coal is the right of provinces, he said, adding that it was also the manifesto of Pakistan People's Party (PPP).
To a question, the President said the Establishment is a 'Mindset' and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto was also against this 'Mindset'. Benazir Bhutto had also talked of fighting the Baitullah Mehsud's Mind Set and there were intelligence reports that Baitullah Mehsud was behind her killing. The investigation of Benazir Bhutto's assassination by the United Nations (UN) is aimed at tracing out the real conspirators of her killing, he reiterated.
To another query, Zardari said Benazir Bhutto had never carried out any military operation in Balochistan. The present government has introduced Agahz-e-Balochistan Package with a view to removing sense of deprivation among the Baloch people, he said.
Zardari said there was no difference between the ruling PPP and the coalition partner Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). Our brothers (MQM) were misinformed about the legalities of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
