LAHORE: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said that the
conspiracies by some elements against thedemocratic government were
aimed at avoiding March 2012 Senate election.
Talking to media
persons at the marriage ceremony of former SCBA President Asma
Jehangir’s daughter Sulema here, he said the memogate was a non-issue
and giving undue importance to the non-issues had put the country’s
integrity at stake.
Rejecting the idea of technocrat government,
the Prime Minister said, "There is no room for technocrats, caretakers
or ’chair-takers’ in the system".
Replying to a question
regarding any change in the democratic set-up, Gilani said the Pakistan
Peoples Party fully believed in democracy and political forces never
contemplated or supported such anti- democracy ideas.
Regarding
the health of President Asif Ali Zardari, he said the President was fast
recuperating and he would assume his office very soon.
The
Prime Minister also hinted at the possibility that the President might
reach Pakistan well before the martyrdom anniversary of Shaheed Benazir
Bhutto on December 27. Online
