Post disqualification, Gilani shifts to Presidency

All security protocol and staff transferred to Ashraf, PM House Multan security recalled.

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, following his dismissal from the post and the election of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, moved out of the Prime Minister House and into the Presidency, Express News reported on Saturday.

Gilani, who had earlier shifted to the Islamabad Club after he was disqualified by the Supreme Court, shifted to the sixth floor of the Presidency today where he was given three rooms for him and his family.

Sources say there are security reasons behind this decision as other places are not secure enough for him to reside in.

According to Express News, all security protocol provided to Gilani, including his security staff has also been transferred to newly-elected Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf.

Security measures taken at the Prime Minister House in Multan have also been recalled and a lone police mobile van is stationed there.
