ISLAMABAD: Acting President Mian Raza Rabbani on Wednesday said that Parliament is a symbol of unity of the Federation reflecting the fact that people strongly believe in democratic process upholding the Constitution and rule of law.
He expressed these view while talking to a group of 12-member Journalists of Press Club Dighri, Sindh at the Parliament House.
He said that people struggled for democracy in the country. Parliament is not only safeguarding the democratic process but also safeguarding the provincial autonomy granted under 18th Constitutional Amendment, he maintained.
Mian Raza Rabbani remarked that the role of Senate is very crucial in this regard.
He further said that the 18th amendment not only restored the Constitution of 1973 to its near original form but also gave provinces more powers.
Replying to a question, the Acting President said that the 18th Amendment gave a new paradigm. "Strong provinces to ensure strong federation", he said.
He ruled out the possibility of rolling back of 18th Amendment. He underscored the need for national unity to overcome challenges.
