National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf on Thursday said the constitution was the soul of state as it not only ensured unflinching bond between the people and the state, but also charted a country on path of progress and development. Addressing a news conference in connection with the golden jubilee of the Constitution of Pakistan, he said celebrations would be held in that regard simultaneously at national and international levels.
A comprehensive set of activities had been arranged for the celebration of the Constitution’s golden jubilee, he said, adding a three-day convention would be held in the Parliament. The speaker said the National Database Registration Authority was in the final phase to develop a mobile app “Know Your Constitution”, while preparations for quiz competitions, talk shows and other activities were underway.
He said events would also be organized at all foreign diplomatic missions and embassies abroad. All political parties would be invited in the golden jubilee celebrations, the speaker said while responding to a query.
