Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Sunday that no prime minister from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) would write the letter to Swiss authorities to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Speaking to lawyers at his Lahore residence, Gilani said that only the Parliament could decide if he would remain as the prime minister. Gilani reiterated that he would not resign due to any political pressure or to fulfil anyone’s wishes.
Gilani added that until the detailed verdict was in, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif needed to keep his wishes repressed. He also said that Nawaz Sharif was “confused” and was now confusing politics too, adding, “I will actively reciprocate any kind of politics.”
The prime minister added that certain elements were conspiring against him and he would not back down from any conspiracies.
On April 26, the Supreme Court convicted Prime Minister Gilani in the contempt case for failing to write the letter to Swiss authorities. The prime minister was sentenced till the rising of the court.
