ISLAMABAD : Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on Thursday said Pakistan Peoples Party was serious to resolve the judicial crisis as it believes in strengthening all institutions of the country.

People have given us the mandate for restoration of democracy, for supremacy of Parliament. We have to strengthen all institutions of the country, including judiciary and we are committed to restore the judges,” Prime Minister Gilani said while addressing columnists and editors from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad here at the PM House.

This is our commitment with the nation,” Gilani said.

The Prime Minister dispelled the impression that the Pakistan Peoples Party was not serious about resolving the judicial crisis.

We are far ahead of everybody. We are serious and Inshallah that would be resolved by Pakistan Peoples Party.

Prime Minister Gilani said even before the general election his party had been advocating for the independence of judiciary and always stressed for supremacy of the parliament and not to make it a mere rubber stamp.

We accord highest respect to the judges and it is our priority to do a lot for them,” he said.

Gilani recalled that soon after becoming the leader of the house, he announced release of the depsoed judges. APP (Associated Press of Pakistan), 2008
