Democracy restored in Pakistan: Zardari

Nawabshah, Sep 13: President Asif Ali Zardari has said that democracy has been restored completely in Pakistan and Benazir Bhutto's mission has been completed.

Talking to parliamentarians and officials from the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) at the VIP Lounge of the Nawabshah Airport, Zardari said the PPP did not believe in "politics of revenge" and had tried to bring together all political parties in the country. The president said Nawabshah had been ignored during the last 11 years due to political opposition and pledged a development package for the district. Zardari said revolutionary changes would be introduced in the Irrigation Department in order to combat canal water scarcity and steps would be taken to prevent water theft.

He said the government was considering a metering system on watercourses to detect water theft and secure growers at the tail of the irrigation system.
