Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Tuesday said the government does not want to affect the investigations into the Memogate scandal.
Arriving here to attend the ceremony being held in connection with the fourth anniversary of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, he said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is a name of an ideology, adding, “We are committed people regardless of the any political season.”
The death of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is international tragedy not just a national loss, he commented.
Responding to a question regarding the investigations into the Benazir murder case, he said the probe is complete, and it would be made public if needed.
Reacting to a question regarding the Memogate scandal case, the PM Gilani said, “I am the premier but not a judge. The court will uncover the matter.”
Expressing resolve that the government wants to take along all parties, he said efforts were made in every era to pit institutions against each other. The efforts to spawn discrepancies between the President and the Prime Minister did not bear fruit; similary, the plots meant to setting the government against judiciary also fizzled out, he stressed.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto gave the Constitution which was restored by his party, the PM Gilani said, urging all the sintitutions to work under the Constitution.
“We are working to bring all the institutions under the Constitution, as deviation from the Constitution will lead to clash,” Gilani said, noting the government does not want to enter any battle.
Hence, all the institutions should work under their designated jurisdiction, he noted.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is not an ordinary party, it will brave against all conspiracies, he observed.
The government has implemented 80 percent of Charter of Democracy (CoD), he added.

  1. Mr. Prime Minster, you have fooled this nation for four long years by raising the alarm of conspiracies against the democracy. The time has proved that there are no conspiracies. If at all there is any threat to your Government, it is all due to your own corruption and bad governance. Knowing fully well that Memogate was a conspiracy against the state of Pakistan, you are keeping the main suspect under your personal protection. Why have you and the President have become a party, siding with the accused. Your official responsibility under the oath is to get this matter thoroughly investigated through your intelligence agencies. In stead you have become a hurdle in the way of independent investigation. Don't you think that I shall be fully justified if I consider you an accomplice in this ugly plot against our national security.

  2. Dear Prime minister, You seem to be always in a reactive state.Always explaining your statements and causing confusion! Your interview in the new york times gave the impression of having a go at ISI chief regarding OBL but in the pakistani newspapers you praise him as a brave general. Did you really plead to Gen Kayani that he should accept an extension? You mediated between the COAS and the President and arranged a minutes converation. You are wasting too much energy on frivolous matters. Why don,t you appoint a experienced media spokesman to clarify to the nosy reporters about who said what. There are many important matters of state which are waiting your urgent attention or is it possible that you have become the victom of what the former secretary of state Henry Kissinger said of third world leaders"every time a chicken lays an egg they want to be on the t.v
    Mr.Prime Minister you are a very decent man but this decency makes you appear weak.Please be proactive,
