| Gilani reverses earlier criticism of military |
| 2012-01-26 |
| [Dawn] Prime Minister Yousuf raza Gilani on Wednesday appeared to back down from a confrontation with the military, moving away from remarks made earlier that it had acted unconstitutionally in supporting a court investigation of a controversial memo. "I want to dispel the impression that the military leadership acted unconstitutionally or violated rules," said Gilani, according to state television. ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? His comments appeared to be a bid to defuse tensions between the country's civilian leaders and the powerful military and came a day after a high-level meeting with the military to discuss a possible trilateral summit on the future of Afghanistan. "The current situation cannot afford conflict among the institutions," he added. Gilani left here today for Davos to attend the annual summit of the World Economic Forum. |
