Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Thursday that he was disappointed over the Supreme Court (SC) judgment against Sharif brothers. The SC ruling damaged the democracy in Pakistan and anti-democratic forces might be benefited by the prevailing political turmoil if this issue was not resolved peacefully. This PM said while talking to media. Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani defended imposition of Governor-rule in Punjab saying imposition of Governor rule was unanimous decision of the government of PPP and also it was the constitutional need of the hour as former Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif had been declared ineligible for contesting polls by Supreme Court. PM clarified we are not personally against any political party as I was the one who made phone call to Shahbaz Sharif and extended sympathies to him over SC verdict. Responding to a question about controversies between PM and President houses PM Gilani said having controversies are the part of democratic system and differences may occur sometimes but all elements have to follow constitutional decisions. PM termed politics as day-to-day affair and maintained that no one could predict about future in politics. To a question PM Gilani said President Zardari would be requested to issue National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) to undo Supreme Court verdict against Sharif brothers. |
