Prime Minister, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday said it is preferable to sit in opposition rather than indulge in 'a game of interests and politics', contrary to the trust reposed by the people.
Talking to Syed Riaz Hussain Pirzada and Jamshed Dasti, members of the National Assembly who met him separately at his Parliament House Chamber, Prime Minister said that since coming to power, the government had taken every step for the promotion of democratic values and would continue its stance of the principled and issue-based politics in the future.
"It is preferable to sit in opposition rather than indulging in politics in contravention to the trust reposed by the people and get involved in the game of interests," he said. Gilani said that the new cabinet had been selected carefully by following the principle of public support and all its members are directly elected members of the parliament. He also said that the size of the cabinet was reduced to practically demonstrate seriousness of the government towards the implementation of the 18th constitutional amendment in letter and spirit. He urged the political forces of the country to set an example by following true democratic norms and values.
