President Asif Ali Zardari is scheduled to address the joint session of parliament.
The President has summoned the joint session of Parliament in exercise of the powers conferred by article 54(1) and 56(3) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the previous notification to call the joint session of Parliament on April 16 stands cancelled.
A day earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari assailed the bureaucracy in Islamabad, saying Pakistan was not a poor country but it had been made so by mindset of the ‘babus’ [officers] sitting in the capital.
Addressing a gathering on the occasion of the 45th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Zardari recounted how former prime minister Benazir Bhutto had appointed him as the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party, despite doubts from some friends about his leadership capabilities.
The president emphasised that Pakistan’s status as a poor nation was not predetermined, adding that despite Allah’s provision of abundant wealth, the nation suffered from a lack of intellect.
Zardari stressed the importance of cultivating a mindset that seeks to understand and address the country’s challenges comprehensively.
