Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq highlighted that respect for the Constitution, adherence to the rule of law, and the continuity of democratic practices remain essential for sustainable national progress. He paid tribute to the members of the 1973 National Assembly and the political leadership of that era, who set aside differences to establish a constitutional framework that continues to guide governance and democratic institutions in Pakistan today.<\/p>\n

Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq stressed that the Constitution is the supreme law of the country, defining the powers and responsibilities of state institutions, outlining the rights of citizens, and ensuring accountability at every level. He reaffirmed the commitment of the Parliament to enhance legislation, improve governance, and promote transparency for the welfare of the people.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the importance of national unity and strong governance in safeguarding constitutional values, the Speaker noted that a collective commitment to democratic principles and the Constitution strengthens Pakistan\u2019s resilience, stability, and progress.

Underlining the importance of political cooperation, NA Speaker urged all political forces to work together in the national interest, drawing inspiration from the collaborative spirit of the 1973 Assembly.

On Constitution Day, Deputy Speaker National Assembly Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah has also extended his congratulations to the nation.
