Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday said the existence of Punjabi Taliban had now been confirmed by the government, adding that in the past the Punjab government had denied their presence.
Talking to reporters, the former premiere said it was not easy for the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led coalition government to complete its five-year term.
He said the PPP government had refrained from politics of violence and revenge and had ensured that there were no political prisoners during its term.
Gilani congratulated the PPP candidates who won seats in the by-elections.
