Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Thursday dismissed opposition's tirade against President Zardari and said he stands tall amongst the democrats as he had restored the Constitution and handed over his powers to the parliament.

"Never in the history [of the country] has been a President who transferred his powers on his own to the Prime Minister," Gilani told a large gathering here at the inauguration of an underpass on the GT Road.

The Prime Minister said President Zardari had transferred his powers to the Prime Minister as he believed in the supremacy of the parliament and for the sake of the country, the people and strengthening of democracy.

"Which other government in the past that enjoyed the two-third majority, restored the Constitution in its original form," he questioned.

Prime Minister Gilani said throughout his political life, he witnessed confrontation between different sections of the political spectrum and forces against the Pakistan Peoples Party who tried to level false allegations against it.

He said the government had handed over the most important position of the Chairman Publics Accounts Committee to the opposition to judge the performance of the government.

"What else the government could have done to please its opponents," he said and added if someone has complaints about the government, they should seek redressal from the courts.

Referring to the issue of electricity load-shedding in the country, he said it was the responsibility of the political leaders to give the people hope rather than provoking them to take to streets to destroy public property, and stop the police from taking any action against such miscreants.
