ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani denied Friday that a deal was made with judiciary on the issue of judges’ appointment and called the rumors in this regard unfair.
Speaking to media after the 2nd Convocation of Air University, the Prime Minister said he is the country’s chief executive and any decision was to be taken through consultation.
To a question about initiating action against the legal team on the issue of judges’ appointment, the prime minister said: “Cabinet is mutually responsible in a parliamentary system. Any individual can not be held fully responsible.”
Gilani said every decision would be taken in line with the country’s interest.
About water issue, Premier Gilani said that he had directed the two chiefs ministers of Punjab and Sindh to mutually resolve the row.
Earlier, addressing the participants of convention, Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Friday said Pakistan needs to collaborate with advanced countries to develop technological expertise indigenously to become a self-reliant nation
He said Pakistan through indigenisation can cut down expenses, but eventually be able to export technology to the developing countries.
“It is for this reason that our government is collaborating with our Chinese friends in various fields including defence, of which production of JF-17 Thunder Aircraft is an example.”
The prime minister appreciated the establishment of Institute of Avionics and Aeronautics at Air University and noted the support of the Higher Education Commission and Pakistan Air Force for creation of this Centre of Excellence.
The event was also attended by Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman, Chief of the Air Staff.
