LAHORE: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday said that Pakistan People’s Party’s success in Multan’s by-elections was proof that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was losing its popularity, DawnNews reported.

 Speaking to a lawyers’ delegation at Governor House Punjab, the prime minister said Nawaz Sharif was disappointed with his party’s lost popularity.

The prime minister said rhetorically: “We have restored the constitution, how can we violate it…we will always comply with the constitution”.

Gilani said he did not write to Swiss authorities because the constitution granted immunity to the president.

The lawyers vowed their support for rule of law, democracy and an independent judiciary.
