Twitter Alert: Criticism aplenty for Gilani's OBL speech

Local twitterati comments on statements by PM Gilani in his parliamentary address.

Pakistani Twitterati got all geared up as Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani began addressing the parliament on the Osama bin Laden operation on Monday. His statements were not only immediately tweeted but were also extensively criticised.

The US conducted an operation in Abbottabad last week in which al Qaeda’s top leader and also the world’s most wanted terrorist bin Laden was killed.

Here’s a round-up of some of the tweets:

Cyril Almeida

PM Gilani rejects Pak incompetence or complicity. He didn't rule out both, however.

Abbas Nasir

TV anchors' gripe with Gilani: The Ghairat agenda is ours.

Ejaz Haider

of course PM was not addressing pakistanis; he was signalling outsiders...

Azmat Khan

Pakistan pulls the China card...

Raza Rumi

As expected Gilani attempts to bail out the security establishment - in national interest of course #Pakistan

Farieha Aziz

You wait for them to address the nation, and then want to go bury your head somewhere!

Omar Waraich

Parliament's looking pretty empty for what is supposed to be a major Gilani speech
