On Thursday, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq declared that May 9 will be regarded as the darkest day in the country’s history.

Sadiq condemned the events that occurred on May 9, last year, saying: “The enraged group had attacked military installations.”

He stated: “The attack was an attempt to weaken the institutions and challenge the writ of the state.”

He further stated: “The violent activities under the guise of the protest cannot be tolerated.”

“Any attempt to weaken the country is unacceptable. Sadiq claimed that one party and one individual had destroyed the country in order to achieve their wicked goals.

Sadiq argued that: “Any matter can be resolved by sitting in the parliament and holding talks.”

He continued: “There is a need to make joint efforts to bid farewell to the politics of division and hatred.”

“Anarchy, imbroglio are the biggest obstacles to the development of the country,” he continued.

He stated that “It is deplorable to launch a maligning campaign against the state institutions.”

“The May 9 culprits will have to be answerable according to the law,” according to him.

Sadiq urged all political parties to promote democratic principles.

He continued: “The grisly conspiracy was staged to spread unrest and impose fascism in the country.”
