He termed the presidential system is a cruel system, adding that if it was introduced, a new constitution would have to be formed.

The Constitution is a central point that made Pakistanis a nation and united the provinces.

He maintained that no dictator can hold the power by force.

He asserted that General Ayoob Khan had handed over three rivers of Pakistan to India.

He recalled that when the constitution was introduced in the country, the very next day emergency was imposed, grabbing the people’s rights.

As per the Constitution, every province has the first right on its resources, he said, adding that over Punjab resources, the people of the province have the first right on them.

If Sairaki province is made, no one should have objection to it, he observed.

If any country goes bankrupt economically, the mutinies and revolts break out, he maintained.
