Achieved what I wanted during my premiership, says Gilani
Speaking to the media at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, Gilani said that prime ministers keep coming and going, but the assembly should complete its tenure.
He said the Parliament had not accepted the Supreme Court’s decision.
The former prime minister said that he had wished to be treated well during his farewell and that is exactly what had happened.
Gilani also said that the end of one’s premiership should be peaceful, transparent and independent, so that the people can select the succeeding prime minister in a better way.
He added that he wishes that the supremacy of the Parliament remains intact.

No prizes for guessing what it was that he wanted!!!
He's pathetic!!
chalo chalo ab London chaley!
Now that we told you the reasons for your contentment,will it not be fair to ask you ex-pm who in your opinion should be declared closest to your achievement if that is not sacred and for your eyes only. Parliament has not accepted SC judgement as you say,would mean that you are still pm.
Really? and what is that - care to expand?
The goal was to steel billions from the poor pakistanies.
@Saleem: No we didn't. We got a corrupt leader who was kicked out.
Achieved what I wanted during my premiership Not only you Gilani even your sons achieved what they wanted to during their father's premiership. Infact, Mrs. Gilani didn't loose the chance and was successful in making news multiple times for her 'Harrods' London shoppings on each trip. Black money white bhi to kerna tha na !!
At least he is not lying :D
Gilani is a great and respectable ex PM for us.
I wish he reads the comments and see himself in the mirror-when he is alone in hi sroom or bathroom :)
You gained billions for personal use and we bagged more humiliation and disgrace globally. the weight of both the gains were equal but inversely proportional (up and down positions).
Yes, Mr. ex-PM. In the end, you got what you deserved.
Mr. Gilani, you are not alone. The total head count of PM dismissals stands at 16 at least. Army chiefs have sacked five presidents and prime ministers. Heads of state (governor general or president) have dismissed eight prime ministers. A prime minister sacked an army chief in full flight, literally speaking (only to be arrested by him upon landing). A president sent a chief justice home, and now the self-same, restored, and CJ has fired you, none other than his reluctant restorer. But being Pakistan, the the cycle of dismissals will carry on for elected leaders. Only the army and other corrupt will carry on without checks..
The title of the article brought this to my mind for Gillani: A beach house, A Ferrari, A Billion Dollars and Armani suits
yes, transfered a few million dollars to private accounts and bought property overseas.Mission accomplished.
Yes he has achived the target of PUSHING Pakistan 50 years back. He was not the PM of Pakistan but was the PM of PPP.
It would be nice if he lists all the things he has accomplished during his premiership. People are still wondering.
One of the most corrupt prime minister in Pakistan's history. Of course he achieved whatever he wanted. No denying that.
Hahahhaha. Speaks volume about what he wanted to "Achieve"
What a shameful confession by a corrupt person?
Coagulation Sir ....!!! All yours
Exactly!!!! He wanted to make money so he made it!!! He should be ashamed of what he and his sons had done............ He should have been sent to imprisonment...
yeah.. tons and tons of money :P
definitely.... a screwed up Pakistan!
billions of rupees :)
"he had achieved whatever he had wanted during his premiership" Opinions of the court and political parties aside... How can the man say that? Pakistan is obviously a hard place to sell ideas of progress to and get changes made and all... But, how can that be claimed when there are still so many issues still on the table that have received zero closure? Just what has he accomplished that he set out to do beyond sacrificing himself at the very end to attempt to create a sacrificial image "for democracy" and make a point?
Achieved what I wanted during my premiership ....he is right.......but forgot to say that that the gains were "personal" and not "national"
Ya.. huge bank balance and shameful departure. Capitalize you assets this is a free world country where one can enjoy every thing with money & power. Leave "how is stopping you"
Definitely Sir, What you achieved might even put Nawaz Sharif to shame. Two of your sons are now billionaires. Even cousins like Umar Gilani of Pak Oasis and Peki Cake fame have earned billions of rupees. Mrs Gillani achieved the unique feat of booking whole Okra restaurant for her friends n familly once.
yeah rite... we all have witnessed what you & your son's have achieved :)
Mr. Gillani, what about what the Awam wants? Did you by yourself come into power? Or the Awam put you up there?
made money
Yes, undoubtedly he acheived what he wanted and also strived during his premiership. Trust me if you dont, then check the bank balance of him and his close family.
Yes Mr. Gilani we know your achievements are countless. to name a few, your elder son is billionaire now thanks to NICL & Hajj scandals, your younger son is billionaire as well thanks to Ephedrine scandal, your wife got 100s of millions loan waived and even your daughter got some fabulous trips to her name already so yes you achieved a lot
He wanted to make money for his family and friends and surely he did achieve this
Your bank statement supporting your claim.
If he had mentioned what exactly he achieved, that wouldve been much more helpful for me to even try to appreciate him.
Corruption! Destruction of law and order! Electricity-free Pakistan! Ranking the dead Bhuttos with the Prophets! O yes you did it! Congratulations.
......the change in your monetary fortune is written large all over you. Yes, you have achieved what you wanted. The rest is a lot of hog-wash.
Why didn't you served the Nation, why were you so busy serving friend and family.
"Achieved what i wanted to" i.e. looted as much as I possibly could: great achievement Mr Prime Minister.
Allah will surely bring His justice one day to all our politicians.
Sure.You and family are rich now
So very obviously alleviation of comman man's problems were not even on the agenda. Brilliant Mr Ex -prime minister.
1- Sarjeet Singh confessed to his offense, saying that he went to Pakistan for spying-
2-Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Thursday that he had achieved whatever he had wanted during his premiership.
Isn’t there resemblance of confessions? I wonder why confessions come after crossing the limits!!
It must be a long list of achievement which he can't recall.
He rightly said, achieved what he wanted, making wealth, daughter,sons, wife all made wealth at public expense.Great achievement.
Yes, destroying Pakistan, making it corrupt and near collapse. Well done. Also, you created history by being the first convicted PM of Pakistan!
How much money did you pocket ? That is what he wanted right ?
Lots of Money...Bringing shame to Pakistan and life time perquisites...
