See below a statement issued by PPP Presidential Candidate Irfaan Ali:

I say now is the time to fix the fundamentals on which a modern and free society is built. This is the moment to fill the cracks on the pillars of democracy, cast the beams of unity and build the tower of destiny, not by stones and Steel, but by all of us individually and collectively.

To do this we have to change our mindset and reprogram the way we think and act. My father always said to me, “Strike the iron whilst it is hot”.

The fight for democracy, rule of law, economic and social development, political will and societal involvement are hot this moment and we must strike it as a nation and shape it into the country that the future generations will be proud of and never again must we find ourselves in this position as a people and country.
