ISLAMABAD ( 2009-03-17 14:07:07 ) :Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday said the federal government is against governor rule in Punjab, and would lift it as soon as possible.
"I am against the governor rule [in Punjab]...will end it as soon as possible," the Prime Minister told mediapersons after attending a ceremony at a private school here.
Prime Minister Gilani said the government intended to take all political parties onboard in its effort for national reconciliation.
He said the government would implement the Charter of Democracy in its true letter and spirit, as signed by PPP leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and PML-N's Nawaz Sharif.
The prime minister appreciated Nawaz Sharif for showing positive response to the policy of reconciliation, adding the government would file a review petition on the disqualification of Sharif brothers after the issuance by Supreme Court's detailed verdict.
About the prospects of coalition with PML-N in the federal government, Gilani said politics was a day to day affair and any such possibility could not be ruled out.
On the reinstatement of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, the Prime Minister said the government amicably resolved the national issue of judiciary's independence in accordance with Mohtarma's vision and President Asif Ali Zardari's promise.
Gilani said notification on the reinstatement of deposed judges would be issued soon.
He declined the impression that any step was being taken to clip the powers of the Chief Justice, and said such negativism should be discouraged.
