Govt to meet challenges with the consensus of allies: Gilani

Lahore, May 5 : Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday said that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would take along all its coalition partners to steer the country out of the challenges it is facing today.

The issues, including revival of superior court judges will be taken with consensus of the coalition partners, The News quoted Gilani as saying after inaugurating the bio-technological department at the Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) in Multan.

On the issue of the restoration of the sacked judges, he said Maulana Fazlur Rahman and other allies are members of the committee on independence of the judiciary and any decision would be taken with consensus and there are no differences on the issue.

To another question, he said the MQM enjoys a substantial political support in Karachi, that is why it has been included in the Sindh cabinet and the PML-N has no reservations on this coalition.

He said to maintain law and order is top priority of his government as without it progress is not possible.

Governor Punjab Lt Gen (R) Khalid Maqbool, Vice Chancellor Dr Muhammad Zafarullah and secretary higher education Punjab Ms Arifa Saboohi were also present.
