ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Friday rejected any differences with the President and said he would ‘rise and fall’ with him.“Certainly yes”, the Prime Minister categorically said when asked whether he would stand by the President, in an interview with a private television channel here. The Prime Minister said he did not believe that there were any conspiracies being hatched against his government.
He said the people of Pakistan had reposed full confidence in the country’s leadership despite the cases of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against them.
He mentioned that the cases against Benazir Bhutto, Nusrat Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari were not new and existed while the party was contesting elections, during the issue of President Musharraf’s impeachment and when the party got the two-third majority.
“During all this time, the public reposed confidence in their leadership,” he said.
He said, “It will be an insult to the public conscious, if we say that the decision of the people is wrong. I do not accept it,” Prime Minister Gilani said.
When asked if he as a country’s chief executive would decide to re-open, or not, the Swiss Court cases, the prime minister said, “We will cross the bridge when it comes” and added “let the detailed judgement come.”
Commenting on the government’s stance on the issue of public office holders’ resignations on moral grounds, the prime minister said so far these were allegations, rather than convictions.
