ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President Senator Sherry Rehman on Saturday reaffirmed her party’s steadfast commitment to democracy, justice, and the empowerment of the people.

On the occasion of the 58th Youm-e-Tasees (Foundation Day) of the PPP, Senator Rehman reiterated the party’s dedication to democratic values and the rights of the people of Pakistan.

“This Youm-e-Tasees signifies not only the founding of the PPP but also the beginning of a historic struggle for democratic restoration and the protection of the rights of every citizen. On this momentous day, we pay homage to our visionary founder, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whose leadership uplifted the unheard and offered hope to the marginalized,” she said.

She added that the PPP introduced the 1973 Constitution, which remains the cornerstone of Pakistan’s federal structure. “Our party laid the foundation of the nuclear program, carried out landmark agricultural reforms, established an independent foreign policy, and pioneered missile technology. Initiatives such as the Benazir Income Support Program and our contributions to CPEC reflect the PPP’s enduring commitment to the people and the nation.”

Senator Rehman also paid tribute to the sacrifices of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, whose leadership advanced her father’s mission and strengthened Pakistan’s democratic foundations.

Highlighting the leadership of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Senator Rehman noted that the PPP remains fully committed to realizing the vision of its founding chairman. “Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has led the party with resolve, ensuring that the PPP remains a symbol of hope and an engine of progress, even in the face of extraordinary challenges. His leadership reflects our enduring commitment to building a peaceful, progressive, and prosperous Pakistan.”
