Gilani says ready to talk to anyone

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on Friday dismissed any crisis following PML-N leader’’s voice of dissent and said he was ready to meet anyone in this regard to resolve the matter. “Let the committee take decision. I am ready to meet Mian Sahib,” Gilani said while talking to reporters after inaugurating the Aiwan-e-Quaid at F-9 Fatima Jinnah Park here. “There can be no crisis in the way of democracy,” said Gilani when asked about PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif’’s point of view. He said he had talked to Chairman of Parliamentary Committee on Constitution Reforms Raza Rabbani and it was up to them to decide the future course of action. Regarding Nawaz Sharif’’s complaint that he was not taken into confidence over the Pak-US strategic dialogue, he said it was already planned and the nation would be taken into confidence. When asked whether the strategic dialogue would put Pakistan under lots of pressure, he said his was a democratic government and would do everything that was in the interest of the country without compromising national integrity and sovereignty. “We are answerable to the people of Pakistan and not to the United States of America,” Gilani said. With regard to the Pak-US and Indo-US ties he said Pakistan believed in composite dialogue and desired stronger bilateral relations. He said the address of the President to the Parliament was a constitutional requirement and referred to the past when a dictator did not do so. “We will not take any unconstitutional step and will take every step after taking opposition into confidence,” he added. To a question he said like always he has very good terms with the judiciary. About the energy crisis, he said,” power projects take lots of time for completion” and regretted that had the governments in the past done their part things would have been different now. Earlier while addressing the ceremony, Prime Minister said the country was at the crossroads of history. “It is time that we need to strengthen the foundation of the country and transfer the ideology of Pakistan to our next generation,” Gilani said. He said it was vital that all state institutions function independently within their own respective spheres, where they can gain strength and make the country stronger to face all challenges.

PCCR meets to resolve contentious issues, PML-N under fire

ISLAMABAD: The Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) met again today to resolve the differences over judges” appointment and renaming of NWFP. The meeting is currently underway with Raza Rabbani in chair. PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar was reported to have been under fire from other members of the committee during the meeting after PML-N chief took a U-turn on constitutional reform package. The signing ceremony of the final report of the PCCR was postponed on Thursday due to reservations of the PML-N over the constitutional amendments. With the delay in the finalisation of the recommendations of the Rabbani committee, the presentation of the report in both the houses of parliament, due today, was put on hold. Federal Minister Dr Babar Awan had announced on Wednesday that the government was summoning the joint session of parliament on Friday in which the 18th Amendment would be tabled following the address of President Asif Ali Zardari to the joint session. However, the signing ceremony was postponed, as the PCCR in its ”last” meeting, held here on Thursday, failed to reach a consensus on the renaming of the NWFP – the only contentious issue on which the ANP and the PML-N have locked their horns. The PCCR held two meetings here on Thursday, with Senator Raza Rabbani in the chair, to discuss the issue. However, the differences between the ANP and the PML-N remained unresolved, compelling the government to postpone the draft-signing ceremony by the committee members. Consequently, the joint sitting of parliament and the president’’s address to the joint session would also not be held today.
