MANDI BAHAUDDIN: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said that unconstitutional steps of the opposition against an elected government would not be tolerated, stressing that government's reconciliatory policy should not be construed as weakness.

“The opposition may bring no-confidence move against me (the prime minister) or an impeachment motion against the president if it has developed certain disliking against the both,” he said while addressing a public meeting after inaugurating various public development projects at Phalia.

The prime minister said PPP stood firm to its manifesto and the Charter of Democrcay (CoD) as per the vision and philosophy of the Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, adding that PML-N president Nawaz Sharif, one of the signatories of the CoD, had forgotten it.

He said that over 80 per cent of the Charter of Democracy has been implemented.

Gilani said PPP would not retreat from serving the public and strengthening democracy and democratic institutions in the country.

The premier announced to launch country-wide 'Carvan-e-Tameer' from Phalia, Mandi Bahauddin, adding that he would go from Karachi to Khyber to launch development projects.
