Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Wednesday met President Asif Zardari and conveyed to him his reservations which had prompted him to leave the Presidency and move to his home in Lahore, a private TV channel reported. Per reports, Gilani arrived in Islamabad on a PIA flight and went straight to the Islamabad Club from where Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf took him to the Presidency. According to the channel’s sources, Ashraf convinced Gilani to go to the Presidency with him and share his reservations with the president. The prime minister was also present in the meeting. Gilani had earlier expressed anger at his son being arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Force from outside the Presidency. The former premier also believes that the party leadership had made him a scapegoat in the NRO implementation case as he was asked not to yield to the Supreme Court’s pressure on writing a letter to the Swiss authorities demanding reopening of the graft cases against President Zardari. The government had a few weeks ago conceded to writing the letter and the SC on Wednesday approved the draft of the letter to be sent to the Swiss government. The channel quoted Gilani as saying that all issues with the party would be resolved amicably and categorically said that he was not considering leaving the Pakistan People’s Party.
YRG has wrecked the PPP with his shameless corruption in which his whole rotten family was involved.
