Government of PakistanPresident Arif Alvi reiterates Pakistan’s resolve to nurture & strengthen democracy

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Dr. Arif Alvi has said that as the world stands in unison to celebrate the International Day of Democracy on September 15, Pakistan reiterates its resolve to nurture and strengthen democracy in accordance with Islamic tenets and the vision of the founder of the nation.

In his message on World Democracy Day, the president quoted the saying of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah that “Democracy is in the blood of the Muslims, who look upon complete equality of mankind, and believe in fraternity, equality, and liberty.”

The president said that the Constitution of Pakistan is enshrined with democratic principles and a parliamentary form of government. He said that the preamble of the Constitution, which is a substantive part of the Constitution states it clearly that the state shall exercise its power and authority through the chosen representatives of the people.

President Arif Alvi said that democracy is as much a process as a goal, and only with full participation and support of the international community, democratic institutions, civil society and people who are the ultimate stakeholders, can the ideal of democracy be converted into reality and enjoyed by everyone, everywhere.

Dr. Arif Alvi said that the democratic values of public participation in decision-making, human rights, freedom of expression and the principle of holding periodic free and fair elections by universal suffrage are the cornerstone of democracy.

“Pakistan stands firm on the commitment that true democracy is the only way forward for inclusive decision-making and policy formulation, particularly for minorities and vulnerable segments of society,” he said.

The president further said that true representation of people, fairness, equality, social justice and rule of law are at the heart of any democratic nation and Pakistan strives to garner these values through its Constitution that guarantees them.

In addition, he said that Pakistan stands in solidarity with all the oppressed people of the world who are voiceless and cannot exercise their democratic right of self-determination, especially the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
