Former Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani claims that the PML-N government lacks the ‘political acumen’ to handle and run the affairs of the country. Speaking with the media at the residence of district PPP president Tariq Mehmood Bajwa, Gilani said, “It is very unfortunate that Nawaz Sharif’s government enjoys a majority in the parliament but has still failed to resolve any issues worth mentioning.”
Referring to the PPP’s tenure, the former PM added, “We did not even enjoy a majority in the parliament but still completed a five year-tenure and created a precedent in the history of Pakistan for completing a constitutional tenure.”
He said the PPP government faced challenges including the presence of General Musharraf as president, a ‘hostile judiciary’ and ‘a series of conspiracies’ led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Chaudhry Nisar Ali and Khawaja Asif.

You mean he does not have "political chicanery" like you had.
He should show maturity and put you behind bars for what you did to this country..
True NS lacks a Political Acumen and so do you else corruption party wouldn't have been thrown out by the people they way they did! P.S. Having your whole corrupt family squeeze the juice out of PMship doesn't translates to Political Acumen!
Look who is talking!!!!!
Yeah sure Gilani Ji, as if appointing Rao Shakeel who pick pocketed hajis and shared the loot between you and your sons, authorizing the appointment of a Night Club manager of NICL, sound asleep during the Abbottabad episode and getting disqualified for not writing that stupid letter which was eventually signed off by Raja Parvez Ashraf - are hallmarks of political acumen.
Of all the people.. such comment coming from Mr. Gilani is a real low!! I am not a NS supporter, the fact remains NS may lack political acumen but Mr. Gilani didnt had a say while PPP was incharge of affairs.
Surely NS has no political acumen. He continues to simply wait for a "Zia" to helm him.
