Benazir remembered

Published March 23, 2008

Yusuf Raza Gilani said on Saturday that he wanted to work with all “democratic forces” in the country.

“We have to take all democratic forces along. I will be giving a policy statement and spelling out my priorities on the floor of the house,” Mr Gilani told AFP in a telephone interview shortly after he was nominated as the PPP’s candidate for the post of prime minister.

“I am thankful to my party leadership for putting their trust in me,” he said, adding that he missed the party’s “great leader” Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated on December 27.—AFP
