LAHORE: The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said that the People’s Party did not come into the government with anyone’s help and nor will it pack up on anyone’s demand. He said that those hoping for the downfall of this government will not achieve anything, DawnNews reported.
Gilani was talking to the media in Muzaffargarh, where he stated that PPP was the name of a movement that had given immense sacrifices. He said that the people affiliated with the Pakistan Peoples Party will never sell-out nor surrender.
While inaugurating the Benazir Basti town, Gilani said that he felt immense happiness at this occasion because this area had been devastated by the floods and now once again people can be rehabilitated.
Speaking on the Seraiki province issue, the prime minister said that the Seraiki people do not want an administrative unit and giving them their own province was of highest priority.
Gilani said Mian Nawaz Sharif had recently given a statement in which he proposed new administrative units in the country.
“But we reject this offer,” he added.
He said Saraiki people are sober, kind-hearted and have a sweet language but it does not mean they do not know what they want.
“They do not compromise on principles. They hold their ground like I do whenever any problem arises,” he added.
He said separate province was the demand of the people of the South Punjab, a backward area, which lacks progress and there is a sense of deprivation.
