Islamabad, MAR 17 /DNA/ – Former Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that the PPP has neither kidnapped any member of the Assembly nor the PPP is involved in horse-trading. He said that the members National Assembly are staying in Sindh House for their own protection. Gilani said that the PPP has never resorted to any democratic means but the government wants to clash with the opposition.

The announcement of holding a public gathering on the eve of voting in the National Assembly on the no-confidence motion is a clear proof of their defeat. The government should bring 172 members in the assembly instead of bringing one million people on the street. He said that the Chairman Senate and the Speaker National Assembly are running a campaign for the government which is not in their mandate. They should play an impartial role. He said that the parties in the government are in negotiation with the opposition. The PPP has accepted all the points put forward by the MQM have been accepted by the PPP.

He said that since the police attacked parliament lodges the members were considering themselves unsafe so we have shifted them to the Sindh House. He said that the voting on the no-confidence will be open and everyone will know that who is against and who is for the motion. Inshallah, the no-confidence will succeed and a new government will take oath and carry out electoral reforms.
