ISLAMABAD: While addressing the National Assembly, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that he does not need vote of confidence nor against any institution, our sources reported.
PM Gilani said the Constitution must be respected by everyone. He said they did not come in the assembly to get support on NRO. 'We didn't introduce the NRO', said PM.
Gilani further said they also did not come in the parliament to get support against any institution.
We (PPP) have not come into government to become martyrs, Gilani said, adding that PPP would not beg to stay in government. 'Democracy is all that matters'.
Parliament has to decide whether there should be democracy or dictatorship, Gilani said and added that the parliament has the right to do anything it wants.
'If we're out, you're out, everyone is out (of government)'.
We have brought about resolution for strengthening of democracy, PM Gilani said and invited opposition to make amendments to it.
We are politicians, if we don't make mistakes, who will? But democracy should not suffer for our mistakes, the PM added.
Gilani said he had assured judges that he had no problems with them.
The prime minister said 'it is a matter of record that his government is the first to bring Chief of Army Staff before parliament'.
He urged the parliamentarian to get united, saying that whenever there is a problem, all communities, even crows, unite.
End.
