Islamabad, The Speaker of the National Assembly, Raja Pervez Ashraf, has announced that a monument dedicated to the Constitution of Pakistan, signifying its magnificence and sanctity, is set to be inaugurated in Islamabad. The Constitution Monument, alongside Bagh-e-Dastoor, is expected to be unveiled on the day of the inaugural session of the upcoming National Assembly. This development underscores the importance of the Constitution as the cornerstone of the nation’s democratic framework and legal system.
According to National Assembly of Pakistan, Speaker Ashraf, during a meeting to review the monument’s construction progress, emphasized the need for maintaining international standards in its construction and presentation. He highlighted that the monument would serve as a perpetual reminder of the Constitution’s sanctity and sublimity, reinforcing its role in guiding the nation’s governance and legal principles.
However, the Speaker expressed dissatisfaction with the Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) approach to the project, urging an expedited construction process and adherence to professional standards. The discussions covered several aspects of the monument and Bagh-e-Dastoor’s development, including lighting, restroom facilities, cafeteria services, and overall maintenance, all of which are to meet international benchmarks.
Representatives from the CDA, present at the meeting, assured that the construction would be completed before the National Assembly’s inaugural session. The commitment to high standards and timely completion reflects the project’s significance, not just as a physical structure, but as a symbol of Pakistan’s commitment to its constitutional values and democratic ideals.
The inauguration of the Constitution Monument and Bagh-e-Dastoor represents a significant moment for Islamabad and the nation, highlighting a renewed dedication to the principles enshrined in the Constitution of Pakistan. It stands as a testament to the country’s ongoing journey towards upholding the rule of law and democratic governance.
