ISLAMABAD: The Prime Minister's House issued a clarification on Prime Minster Yousaf Raza Gilani's address in Karachi on his remarks to restore Hyderabad district to its earlier position.

A spokesman assured that the Hyderabad issue would be resolved after consultation with allies.

Urban Soul | 14 years ago | Reply What ever the PPP govenrnment or Mr. Gilani say now on the issue, yesterday's blunder by our PM exposed the ethnic biases and drift within government's coalition, I wonder how would we survive when ethnicities have such strong mistrust and grievances with one another like in Pakistan
