The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) felicitated the nation on Constitution Day on Sunday and reiterated the importance of protecting the Constitution. Separately, Rabbani, in his statement, said that on Constitution Day, the nation reaffirms its faith in democracy, parliamentary system, federalism, particularly in the immediate aftermath of recent events. However, he added, on April 3, constitutional functionaries blocked the process of the Constitution to perpetuate themselves in power. The PPP leader said that in such circumstances, the internal checks and balances provided within the Constitution came into play and the Constitution itself was allowed to breathe. He said that the principles of trichotomy of power and supremacy of parliament were preserved by the short order, which was issued in extraordinary circumstances.
