ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Wednesday said that economic stability is impossible without political stability.
Addressing the journalists at Iftar-dinner hosted in the honor of journalists at PM House here, the PM said that only one person cannot be held responsible under Article-6 of the constitution, as the people who get involved in the implementation on any unconstitutional step, are equally culpable and responsible.
Commenting on statement on former President Gen (rtd) Pervez Musharraf attributed to President Asif Ali Zardari, the PM said the explanation has been given by the Presidential House, adding the government does not believe in deal.
It is only the parliament that can decide on the issue relating the trial of Musharraf, he said adding president can waive anyone’s sentence; hence if anything is decided in connection with Musharraf’s trial, President can quash that as well.
The government has constituted a committee to purge the constitution of all contradictory clauses and started to take the parliament in confidence on all issues, he observed.
The government in a bid to protect minority rights, has apportioned for them five percent quota in government jobs, he said.
The decision of cabinet would final on rental power plants, he maintained.
Country cannot afford the mid-term poll, he said.
The issue of Balochistan would be raised in the joint session of the parliament, the PM said adding if parliament wants, it can gives go-ahead for investigations into the killing of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
He said, ‘You know who from the previous set up are sitting with the government.’
If Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) announces to observe October 12 as Black Day, then Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led government would stand by.
The decision of Gilgit-Baltistan would not negatively affect the issue of Kashmir, he said adding Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved the construction of Bhasha Dam.
Commenting on the US drone attacks, the PM said he condemns them and deems them as violation of Pakistani sovereignty, adding Pakistan wants to be given drone technology, so that it may take along the anti-terror operation successfully.
