ISLAMABAD, Sep 15 (SABAH): President Dr. Arif Alvi has reiterated Pakistan’s resolve to nurture and strengthen democracy in accordance with Islamic tenets and the vision of founding father Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

In his message on the occasion of International Day of Democracy observed on Thursday, President Dr. Arif Alvi said the constitution of Pakistan is enshrined with democratic principles and a parliamentary form of government.

The President said 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.

President Dr. Arif Alvi said 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.

He said Pakistan stands in solidarity with all 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).
