Gilani finds PM’s removal similar to country’s break up

Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday said that the second-time removal of the prime minister by the judiciary would be “tantamount to the breaking up of Pakistan”.
The Supreme Court has been asking the executive to implement its verdict on the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case. It disqualified Gilani from the top government office as well as his membership in the central legislature, after his refusal to implement court orders.
His successor, Raja Pervez Ashraf, is facing the apex court on the issue of his willingness to implement the NRO verdict, which includes writing a letter to the Swiss authorities for reopening graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari, who is accused of amassing billions in overseas bank accounts. While addressing a press conference in Lahore, Gilani said the democratic system should continue to work, as it was being run by “elected representatives and an elected parliament”. He said the removal of the prime minister would initiate a new tradition, adding that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government was talking about “fair‚ free and impartial elections”. He threw the blame on judiciary for removing the prime minister through an “unconstitutional step”, which he said was tantamount to the breaking up of the country. Gilani said that elections and the democratic process was unnecessary if elected prime ministers were being sent back to their homes. The former premier also claimed that he had “safeguarded the constitution” by not writing the letter to the Swiss authorities.

  1. This is as stupid of a reason as anyone can give. Gillani assertion that sending another PM home would be like breaking up the country is the same as if one person commits murder and is sentenced to death then the second person who commits the same crime should not be punished. Untill a PM comes comes along who is willing to obey the lawful court, the SC should keep sending these B*A*S*T*A*R*D*S home. The only thing gillani had going for him was that his daughter was good in bed. If she couldn't satisfy zardari, gillani would never have become PM in the first place.

    • i agree pakistan will break up inshaalah for the killing that isi brings upon afghan innocent civilians .isi is the british blood sucker they adr not muslim may allah punish pakistan army and the isi killer organization.

  2. What nonsense. This man proved to be extremely corrupt. Hopefully, he will end up in prison once this Government of thugs and thieves is sent packing by the electorate.

  3. What are you doing in Lahore. Go to Multan and look after your Drug business of Multan Drug Cartel

  4. Pakistan and its democracy is strengthened when a corrupt man whose children indulge in drug smuggling and fleece hajis are sacked. Time to rid Pakistan of these corrupt scums who believe robbing this country is their legitimate right. Pests like YRG should be exterminated, not honored, for they have harmed this country's economy.

  5. The supreme court of pakistan should carry on sending these unscrupulous peoples back to their homes.It will not break up the country, but it will make up the country. Gone are the days when the justice was exploited by these people. Thanks God! now, the justice is in daring hands.

  6. He is an idiot.

    Amongst other historical things which had the potential of being mended his leader Late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's refusal to sit in the opposition after 1970 election led to the civil war and later the dismemberment of Pakistan in 1971. What is he talking about? Does he think that we forgot all this!

    By the way has he forgotten that it was his leader ZAB who gave us Zia ul Haq as the Army Chief, the man who left us insurmountable problems yet to be resolved.
    Hang on; it does not end there Zia gave us Nawaz Sharif who gave us Musharraf.

    What a vicious cycle!

    Mr Gillani nothing will happen if Raja goes.

    • Currently enjoying rivers of milk and honey????? what part of Pakistan are you talking about,99% of our Pakistani's that I know of are sitting in the dark with no running water you d*a*m*n moron.

  8. Idiot. Dam look at our leaders, I amazed. What kind of an statement is this. He is not afraid of putting the country's sovereignty on stake for sake of premiership to his party. He should be ashamed that during his tenure Pakistan performed so poorly and is finally come at a point where people are finding it difficult only to survive. If this is the democracy that pardon me we were better off during the time of dictator Pervaz Musharraf.

  9. These people know no shame and would say or do anything -no matter how harmful to the nation- in furtherance of their own criminal enterprise. Down with this ill begotten, Satan spawn, dim witted slave of his own base desires.

  10. typical PPP reaction. When they are removed from power due to corruption and incompetence. Zardari plays the sind card. YRG playing south Punjab card. He want to be king of South Punjab.

      Be ready South Punjab, Baluchistan and Sindh are going to reciprocate the way Bengalies did 40 years ago. 40 years ago urban Punjabies used to say the same for the Bengali leadership.
