LAHORE:
Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Friday that all institutions should work within their domains to maintain the trichotomy of power defined by the Constitution.
Talking to journalists after inaugurating the completion of renovation work of the Lahore Press Club, he said that the Pakistan Peoples Party not only respected all institutions but also believed in their restoration.
Gilani said the PPP had restored the 1973 Constitution to its real form which was a great achievement.
The PPP leader said he himself appeared before the Supreme Court three times and dispelled any false image that the PPP did not follow the Constitution.
To a question, he said some forces did not want to make South Punjab a province, adding that it was the duty of the government to fulfill the aspirations of the people of South Punjab.
To another question, Gilani said the president had immunity under the Constitution and reiterated that as the premier he had protected the Constitution by not writing a letter.
Evacuee Trust Property Board Chairman Syed Asif Hashmi and Lahore Press Club General Secretary Zulfiqar Ali Mehto were also present on the occasion.
