ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday said that the Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani informed him about the ISPR statement in advance, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to media representatives at the inauguration of PTV’s sports channel, Gilani said that he dismissed the defence secretary for disciplinary reasons.
Gilani said there was no danger to the government. “We are standing with the armed forces,” he added.
The prime minister said interview with the Chinese news agency was scheduled before the visit of army chief to China.
He said that the rules of business were violated when army chief and DG ISI filed replies to the Supreme Court directly bypassing defence and law ministries.
Gilani said that he has not been elected to the parliament for the first time and that his family has been into the politics since the Mughal emperors’ era.
The prime minister also said that he was surprised that the apex court declared him a dishonest man without even consulting him for justification.
The prime minister reiterated that the Senate elections will be held on time.
Gilani said that the government will certainly reply Supreme Court on the six options they have put forward in NRO review case. However he added that all state institutions should operate within their boundaries.
