Democracy is necessary to peace and to undermining the forces of terrorism.

I dream ...of a world where we can commit our social resources to the development of human life and not to its destruction

The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.

I seek to lead a democratic Pakistan which is free from the yoke of military dictatorship and that will cease to be a haven, the very petri dish of international terrorism.

Right now, they feel they have lost their voice, and their miseries have increased since my departure.

The military wants a system that protects its policies and privileges.

Dictatorships by their nature are unrepresentative as they neglect the social needs of the people.
