Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Monday that the opposition leader should provide proof, if he has any, of intelligence agencies’ involvement in political matters.
While responding to the questions of the opposition leader of the national assembly Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan, he said Khan should come up with solid proofs against agencies and should issue statements after taking his party’s leadership into confidence.
The prime minister said the government has public support and it was not afraid of any kind of protests and sit-ins. He stated that the government always demanded the US to stop drone attacks. He denied the reports about Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s contact with COAS Generl Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
He said if someone sponsored anyone then it would be seen. He said the purpose of democracy is to resolve the problems of masses not only rule over the country.
The Prime Minister said efforts are being made to restore relationship between Pakistan and the United States. He said only DG ISI had not visited the US but secretaries foreign affairs and defence would also visit to the US.
Earlier, Pakistan’s Opposition Leader in his speech said that he does not criticize national agencies of the country, but agencies are playing political game in the country and trying to bring political parties.
He said Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani should order agencies that work according to the constitution. Agencies also work on someone’s direction, he added.
He stated that test tube politicians, who have even not a single seat in the national assembly, are holding protest demonstrations on the direction of someone.
He said Prime Minister is yet to fail satisfying over the visit of DG ISI Ahmed Shuja Pasha’s to America. He said Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani and DG ISI have been informed that there is no role of army and agencies in government.
The opposition leader said criticism on Pakistani Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) should be stopped. PML-N has never asked any military general to destabilize the country, he added. He said PML-N not opposes any new province.
He said Prime Minister Gilani should resolve the issue of Geo Super and AAG TV channels. He said people of Pakistan are human beings not animal that would use for their personal interest.
Khan said political parties who accused each other of murder and corruption are making alliance.
