Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday said he was willing to offer his son for a trial by the Supreme Court chief justice if the top judge was having difficulty in conducting a “fair trial” of his own son. The PM was talking to reporters at the State Guest House, Lahore. He abstained from commenting in detail on the Dr Arsalan Iftikhar case, only saying that “no political party can deny having friendly ties with real estate tycoon Malik Riaz and there must be something in him that all are his friends”.He further said his sons and family had been accused of corruption and had been facing investigations in agencies. “I have never demanded special treatment for my sons,” he added.Gilani also talked about national and international issues concerning the country, from NATO supply to load shedding. Commenting on Punjab CM’s act of setting up a camp office at Minar-e-Pakistan, he said, “I feel sorry for him,” adding that the Punjab government had contributed not even a single megawatt to the national power grid, while the PPP-led government had added 3,700MW.“The government is working on new power projects and work is underway on hydro, solar, wind and other alternative modes too,” he said. He also called the resolution tabled in the Punjab Assembly to create Bahawalpur and South Punjab province a “conspiracy”, which he said would be foiled when a bill would be “unanimously passed” in the National Assembly to create South Punjab province.
He also accused the PML-N of breaking the institutions, first the judiciary and then parliament, by presenting a “horse and cattle show” during the tabling of the budget in the NA.
The PM demanded party-based local governments polls, saying expatriates who contribute $12 billion annually should be given the right to vote and contest election. “The ANP has also announced holding local government elections on party basis because they are political people and have political struggle while those who run from jails are not politicians,” he said.
This idiot is so out of control. Everyday he taunts the judges and evryday he gets away with it. If the army leadership had not sold out, he'd be hanging upside down in a gutter.
This liar has opened his dirty filthy mouth again. Every time he speaks or says anything he makes fool of himself. Did he look into eyes of CNN anchor before he uttered these words. I remind him again what he said when asked 30 % of Pakistanis want to leave the country " why dont they leave, Who is stopping Them" Nation should remember what he really thinks of them. PPP Stop Raping the nation
@HamidKhan Come to the point, the topic is CJ son's corruption which has 1000times stronger evidences than any other corruption case including video recording as well. Is corruption committed by generals and judiciary is better than politicians' corruption. Dont apply double standards. It is absolute hypocrisy.
Brave talk alright. You need that as a Pakistani politician …
@Kamran & Hamid Khan, we will see this corrupt filthy excuse of a man hang for the crimes. We will see his sons hang for their crimes & we will see his wife hang for her crimes.
Let him enjoy the last moments of his pathetic term.
@Arutal, Why the CJ not ordered FIA or NAB to conduct an inquiry into his son's case as in the past he was order every case to be handled by FIA or NAB? Why has he not set up a Judicial Commission to probe into his son's corruption on the very first day of hearing, like he did in MEMOGATE case. Why is he applying different standards to MemoGate and FamilyGate?
Nice try Mr. Prime Minister.
Why do we have to go thru the trouble and expense of a trial? We all know he's a drug dealer. Can't we just hang him? I'll provide the rope 🙂
@Kamran, Why r u trying to divert attention from CJ son's corruption? Is corruption committed by judges and generals is better than corruption by politicians. Dont apply double standards. Listen to your conscience as well, CJ son's corruption has millions of tons of evidences more than anypther corruption case including a video recording. Dont be intellectually corrupt. Corruption of all kinds is bad. Why the CJ not ordered FIA or NAB to conduct an inquiry into his son's case as in the past he was order every case to be handled by FIA or NAB? Why has he not set up a Judicial Commission to probe into his son's corruption on the very first day of hearing, like he did in MEMOGATE case. Why is he applying different standards to MemoGate and FamilyGate?
Reckless, if you go back to your posts when I used to preach that corruption was the root cause of the problems, you used to say that corruption is not that big of a deal. Are you going back on your words? Nowhere in my post will you ever find that I am saying that Arsalan is not guilty or that corruption at any level by anybody is acceptable. Its not. If Arsalan is guilty, then he should be punished severely just as ig gillani and his clan are guilty they should be punished severely. The difference is that Arsalan's corruption (if true) does not affect govt. policy, contracts or beuacracy. His alleged corruption only involves a property dealer and himself. There is no allegation that he took the money and malik riaz got favors in return for that money. Arsalan is a businessman just like riaz. Gillani and his sons are public servants who used their positions to gain financial favors. They betrayed public trust. There is a difference betwenn the two case.
Reckless, In Arsalan's case, even if the charges are true, it is a matter of dealings between two business people. Gillani and sons, being public sevants, used their official positions to gain financial favors. They betrayed public trust. That is the biggest difference between these cases. Memogate involves national security, drug case involved public health and profiteering at public expense. Familygate involves financial dealings between two private individuals. I have to admit that I was glad to see you admit that "corruption of all kinds is bad". I hope you meant it and didn't say it just because it suits you purpose now 🙂
Reckless, you finally did admit that "corruption of all kinds is bad". I am glad that you are finally coming around and agreeing with me. I have been telling you this for a while now 🙂 Now to the point of the diffeneces between Memogate and Familygate. One involved national security and treason, the other involves two private businessmen with no consequences to the national policy or security.
Ab Choraon aur Lutairoan ke hath mein Dugdugi aa gai.AB CHORE MACHAI SHORE.gILANI THIS IS VERY TEMPIRARY BALL COMES INTO YOUR COURT .DO NOT BE HAPPAY WHAT ABOUT BILAWAL`S CORRUPTION AND FOR OTHERS YOU ARE TRYING TO DIVERT.USHAME ON YOUR EFFORTS.

Won't You Climb???
.
Yes!
Lend me your shoulder …
.
How we interpret this statement of our worthy PM?
– An underworld's like challenge to CJ (Its resembles the dialogue, we usually heard in Mumbai made underworld-cum-political movies).
– Making mockery of Apex Court and the CJ.
– or Teasing and tickling him.
In all cases first please learn lesson from CJ. He is taller than you and shall always remain taller than you and your accomplices.
Monitoring and recording of a crime intentionally from A to Z is surely a trap and how clever or foolish one is,will be determined by court and there is no need to propagandize the court or judges.Bargaining seems to be impossible.
Gilani the blinking idiot!!!!
