KARACHI, Jan 27: President Asif Ali Zardari said on Friday that the PPP-led government would change the destiny of the country if it was allowed to complete its term and if bureaucracy cooperated with it.

Launching the poverty alleviation programme, Waseela-i-Haq, at the Bilawal House here, he said his government had foiled conspiracies against the democratic dispensation, adding that the PPP would contest elections with the aim of serving the people.

He said conspirators were hatching conspiracies and they kept coming up with one plot after the other, but Bhuttoism would eventually prevail. He vowed to make Pakistan a safe place for people and develop it.

He said PPP workers always rendered sacrifices for the party and they deserved a better return. He advised the Sindh chief minister to give them jobs.

“Let those who merely boast of bringing about a change and raise hollow slogans witness today how changes are taking place through the creation of a new middle class, breaking the generational cycle of poverty, to power national growth and economy,” the president claimed while addressing the ceremony.

”The PPP is actually bringing about a change while others are merely talking about it.”

President Zardari said his idea of currency swap for international trade had got support and so far three countries, Russia, China and Turkey, had agreed to the idea.

Referring to his recent visit to Myanmar and his meeting with pro-democracy leader Aung San Suy Kyi, he said he had conferred upon her the Benazir Bhutto Democracy Award.

President Zardari said he had accepted responsibilities of being PPP’s co-chairperson and President of Pakistan as a trust of people and noted that only Bhuttos could bear this burden.
