MULTAN: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said he had fulfilled a promise of holding the Senate elections on time.

While addressing a ceremony after inauguration of a new Air University campus here on Saturday, Gilani said he was going no where and the government would now present its fifth budget in May.

Answering a question on the Pakistan US relations, he said the bi-lateral ties have seen many ups and downs.

He said the government wanted to provide facilities to people according to the available resources.

Gilani stressed the need for all institutions of the state to work within the ambit of the constitution.

“We are passing through a period of evolution and we want to strengthen our state institutions.”

The premier said there were no political prisoners in the country and he believes in the policy of reconciliation.
