He was addressing a dinner hosted by him in honour of outgoing Senators in Islamabad. The President said that the government is doing a lot on all fronts but much more needed to be done to face various challenges and put the economy on the fast track of growth and development. He said that credit goes to all political parties for what have been achieved over the last 4 years on various fronts as no single party can do all this on its own. President Zardari said outgoing senators will be remembered in the parliamentary history as proud Members of the Parliament that unanimously removed the traces of dictatorship from the Constitution by passing historic 18th and 19th Constitutional Amendments. He said they will also be remembered for making possible the realization of shared national ideal of restoring democracy by their wisdom and selflessness while being members of the upper House. While commending the role of Senate the President said that driven by the spirit of reconciliation and consensus the outgoing senators have to their credit as members of the senate that passed some very important pieces of legislation unanimously including the recently adopted far reaching prowomen bill. He said that the work of senators and parliamentarians has enhanced the trust of the people not only in politicians but also in the parliamentary democracy as a guardian of our national aspirations which is a big achievement. While commenting on the fight against militancy the President said we have to defeat this mindset so as to leave a peaceful stable and prosperous Pakistan for our coming generations. He said during his meetings with foreign delegations he has been pointing out that drug trafficking is a major missing element in the war on terror which is a great source of funding for the militants. President Zardari said Pakistan has abundant natural resources of all kinds and we have to work together to build and strengthen our economy for the sake of prosperity of our future generations. While recounting the achievements of the government he said that peace and development of Balochistan is a pillar of the present government's policy. He expressed the hope that a series of initiatives and development projects initiated by the present government will heal the wounds of Baloch people made during the previous regimes.
