No one will be allowed to cast evil eye on country’s sovereignty, says Gilani

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Saturday said no one would be allowed to cast an evil eye on Pakistan’s security and sovereignty and the government would defend the country’s security at all costs.
Referring to the NATO helicopters attack in Mohmand Agency, the prime minister said, “Pakistani’s solidarity and security have been attacked this morning,” adding that he was going back to Islamabad to discuss the issue with members of the Defence Committee of the Cabinet and other political leaders. Gilani said he had also talked to Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Nisar Ali Khan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan and other leaders so that unity could be forged to tackle the issue. The prime minister said the government was able to solve the people’s problems with their support, adding that the inferiority complex among the people of South Punjab would also be removed. He said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) had the vision, programme and manifesto to improve the living standard of the people and was taking practical steps in this regard.
The prime minister said the South Punjab had been ignored in the past and the government had initiated a number of projects for the underdeveloped areas of this region. He said development projects costing billions of rupees were going on for the overall development of South Punjab. Gilani said the government had initiated many projects in less than four years despite global recession, floods, shortage of power and expenditures on the war against militancy. He said the government had been working on all these fronts with unity and taking all the stakeholders in confidence. The prime minister said the communication system along with building of new roads and bridges would help improve the life of the people in the area resulting in improvement in their economic condition.
“We are in power due to the support of the masses and due to ideology of the party,” he said. He said all development projects would be completed after the completion of the government’s five-year term.
