PPP to emerge single largest party in Senate: PM

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Saturday rejected the agitational politics of PML-N, which, he said, wanted the fall of PPP-led government by hook or by crook before Senate elections in March , but the masses would not accept it and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would emerge as a single largest party in the Senate. “There are all indications that PPP will emerge as a single largest party in the Senate after March elections with its coalition partners, and they (the PML-N leaders) want the fall of government before March by hook or by crook,” Gilani said in an interview . The Prime Minister criticised the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) for provoking people and promoting the politics of agitation in the name of electricity loadshedding or any other issue and added , “it will not be acceptable to masses.”
To a question about the reports of PML-N’s intention for en-bloc resignations from the assemblies to block the Senate elections, he said majority of the PML-N members of parliament would not support such a move.
“I have talked to several PML-N parliamentarians, who said they will not support any such move,” he said.
The Prime Minister, however, added that any unconstitutional act would not be good for the country and democracy.
