Lahore, Feb. 23 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said he is ready to jointly work with Nawaz Sharif to address the problems of the masses, and that he agreed with the PML-N chief over the independence of parliament and judiciary.

Addressing a joint press conference after a meeting with Sharif, Gilani said the nation would soon hear "good news" regarding repeal of the 17th Amendment.
