"At the end of the day, it is the people of Pakistan who judge the performance of their government and this right of the people, expressed through their elected representatives in the Parliament, cannot be taken away - should not be allowed to be taken away - from them", Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said in a letter addressed to Senator Aitzaz Ahsan along with a cheque of Rs 100 as fee for his priceless services as his lawyer.
The Prime Minister said that "in representing me, in fact Senator Aitzaz Ahsan was upholding and defending the principle of supremacy of the Constitution which was not a small matter, especially in the face of adverse propaganda by some political entities, and relentless bias by a section of the media."
He further said in the letter, "it is a tribute to your character and wisdom that you stood firm in your arguments, within the court room as well as outside. Your services to the cause of Constitutional rule will be remembered." The Prime Minister recalled, "we have been together in our struggle for democracy. We have been through adverse circumstances in pursuit of our principles. Two of our great leaders laid down their lives in the struggle for democracy and I am sure that our sufferings will not go in vain."
