Prime Minister Rejects Calls for Change Through Unconstitutional Means

ISLAMABAD -- Rejecting the calls for a change through unconstitutional means, Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday urged the political leadership to abide by the Constitution and accept the rule of law."We believe in democracy, which means following the Constitution and rule of law. The whole political leadership will have to abide by the Constitution and accept the rule of law", he stressed while responding to various questions in the live "Prime Minister On-Line" programme of PTV on Tuesday night. "Mian Nawaz Sharif is my friend... and Altaf Hussain is our ally (in the government). They have their own points of view, but there is no such provision in the Constitution", Gilani maintained when his attention was drawn to the recent statements of the leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), one talking of long marches and the other calling for a change or a revolution with the support of army generals.
