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.
