Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday called on the PML-N to resign from the assemblies, exhorting main political rivals, PTI Chairman Imran Khan and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, to develop a better understanding of the constitution before embarking upon protests and chanting slogans in support of the judiciary.
During his interaction with the members of the Lahore Press Club, Gilani said mechanism for implementation of judicial decisions had been given in the constitution.
He said his government would hold by-elections if the PML-N resigned from the assembly seats.
He said followers of dictators could not withstand the force of the PPP leadership and lambasted Nawaz by saying that he had a track record of striking compromises with dictators during critical phases of the country’s history. He said Nawaz had fled the country after striking a deal with a dictator.
“Nawaz Sharif was in Jeddah when [President Asif] Zardari and Gilani were confronting a dictator,” he said, adding that they would continue to face dictators.He also asked Nawaz to tender an apology before the nation for making compromises with dictators.
Gilani said the opposition’s hue and cry could not impress the masses. “There is no need for support from the opposition or the provincial governments to implement the Supreme Court’s orders.” He also did not see any reasons for agitation by lawyers as they had been supporting the democracy and constitution. About his disqualification issue, the prime minister said it was the prerogative of the National Assembly speaker and not of the Supreme Court, and questioned Nawaz to explain why he had not left politics when convicted for 25 years in a pane high-jacking case. He said the PML-N was holding rallies to hide their blunders and corruption exposed in the Mehran Bank scam while cases were still being heard by the Supreme Court and called upon the PML-N leadership to first get themselves exonerated from these cases.
Complain: Gilani expressed his dismay over weeks-long delay in indictment of Babar Awan in a contempt of court case.He complained that contempt issue against Awan had taken place prior to the proceedings against him but Awan’s case had been deferred for long and the former office bearer of the PPP was indicted yet.
London visit: The prime minister is leaving for London today (Monday), and a 70-member entourage will accompany him to what might be the last foreign tour of the convicted prime minister.A 21-member team has already reached London to cover his visit. The British media has started criticising the prime minister’s visit and during his interaction, Gilani will have to face tough time over his conviction and flouting of Supreme Court’s decision.
shame on you, Gillani. no self respect, whatsoever.
What do you expect from a prime minister who presents his divorced daughter to diplomats in return for their support? At the same time don't expect much from nawaz sharif whose daughter was sleeping with an army jawans in prime minster's house while he was critisizing army. Hang them all.
hey kamran you are looking very handsome while you are admitting your actual deeds.tum jaise he zammeer farosh hote hain wh does not care for others.well done by telling your ram story.what army is doing with convicted pm`s ?disclose honestly
Can't we just stick to the politics instead of character assassination of the ladies in question. Whatever happens between beadsheets is personal and not political.!
My point is to bring light to the hypocracy of nawaz and gillani. While they are saying one thing, they are doing something completely opposite. The message that their families actions sends out is not the message that we want our youngsters to learn. They both come across as very pious but when you look at the behaviour that they condone, it is totally opposite of what they say in public.
And nothing LESS than hanging will do. For Zardari, Rehman Malik & Gilani & Nawaz.
Convicted pm is very clever,he wants to the ground empty so that the other zammer farosh mna aur mpas will be gifted mininstries and other benefits.why do not you pm resign from your premiership?Which things hinder you to do this noble job.you could not control loadsheding of electricity.Is it your performance?
PMLN wont resign… they are power hungry….
Plus they are afraid of PTI… that they might loose what they have now with them…
Unfortunately this is the type of leadership we have today. Gilani, a convicted PM, has no shame and no integrity. His loyalties are with a thief instead of being with the country. Nawaz Sharif is the most stupid politician of today. He has no vision, no common sense and lacks credibility. No hope for betterment as long as these crooks are there on our political scene.
