Opposition is all alone, has no agenda for masses: PM

Rejecting perceptions of any disintegration in government's allies, Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) was very much part of the PPP-led government and would remain with the government.

"PML-Q is with us and they will contest the (next) elections with us. The opposition is all alone and will stand isolated, as they have no agenda (for masses)", Gilani told newsmen after inaugurating a photo exhibition here at the Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA).

The Prime Minister rejected the opposition's criticism about government's policies, particularly over the power outages, and said the opposition was just provoking masses for agitation over an issue which would be resolved within 48 hours.

"When this issue (power outages) will be resolved in 48 hours, they (the opposition) will make another excuse," he remarked and added that the masses were not on the path of agitation, rather they were being provoked.

The Prime Minister said the people of Pakistan were brave as they faced various challenges, including floods, energy shortages and the war on terror with courage, adding, the masses believed that the PPP-led government would resolve their problems, including the electricity shortage.

To another question, Gilani said, "The opposition is all alone. If they want any change, they can bring a vote of no confidence in the parliament." The Prime Minister said the opposition was afraid of the next Senate elections, scheduled in March 2012, in which Pakistan People's Party (PPP) is set to secure a clear majority.

To another question, the Prime Minister said the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM were still part of the cabinet and extended their support in constitutional amendments as well as in the democratic process. He hoped that MQM would side with the government.
