Govt not to interfere into memo case probe: PM

Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Tuesday said the government does not want to affect the investigations into the Memogate scandal.
Arriving here to attend the ceremony being held in connection with the fourth anniversary of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, he said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is a name of an ideology, adding, “We are committed people regardless of the any political season.”
The death of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is international tragedy not just a national loss, he commented.
Responding to a question regarding the investigations into the Benazir murder case, he said the probe is complete, and it would be made public if needed.
Reacting to a question regarding the Memogate scandal case, the PM Gilani said, “I am the premier but not a judge. The court will uncover the matter.”
Expressing resolve that the government wants to take along all parties, he said efforts were made in every era to pit institutions against each other. The efforts to spawn discrepancies between the President and the Prime Minister did not bear fruit; similary, the plots meant to setting the government against judiciary also fizzled out, he stressed.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto gave the Constitution which was restored by his party, the PM Gilani said, urging all the sintitutions to work under the Constitution.
“We are working to bring all the institutions under the Constitution, as deviation from the Constitution will lead to clash,” Gilani said, noting the government does not want to enter any battle.
Hence, all the institutions should work under their designated jurisdiction, he noted.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is not an ordinary party, it will brave against all conspiracies, he observed.
The government has implemented 80 percent of Charter of Democracy (CoD), he added.
