"Now when the national economy is strengthening and democracy is taking root in the country, some anti-democratic forces have become active to disrupt this process for the achievement of their selfish designs," said ministers Arshad Khan Lodhi, Raza Ali Gillani and Chaudhry Zaheeruddin, according to a press release issued by the Punjab Directorate General of Public Relations. "These stalwarts of negative politics should understand that the country can ill afford violence and negative politics and the government will not allow such elements to have a free hand. We advise the opposition leaders to present their points of view in parliament and play a positive role for the success of the democratic system," they said. |
