Panama case verdict should be announced as soon as possible to restore normalcy

MULTAN: The Panama Papers case verdict should be announced as soon as possible so that normalcy can be restored, said former prime minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani on Sunday.

He was addressing a press conference in Multan along with former governor Punjab Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood. According to him, PPP is an ideological party and will wait for the Supreme Court’s decision. He was of the view that the incumbent government should complete its term and elections should be held in 2018.

Talking about election reforms, Gillani said that all parties need to work for them. “Without election reforms, we cannot have transparent elections,” he said. “We need election reforms for real change.”

The former PM was of the view that it is only the PPP that has actually represented the people of southern Punjab. “All the presidents, ministers and governors from this region were nominated by the PPP,” he said. “PML-N and PTI will give us nothing.”

When asked about self-confessed Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, Gillani pointed out that he was the first prime minister to have spoken about foreign interference in Balochistan.
