PM to address nation todayStaff Report
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani will address the nation today (Sunday), at a time when the government is facing multiple challenges on political, economic and judicial fronts.
The address is being seen as very crucial vis-à-vis its timing and the prevailing political situation following a Supreme Court order against possible withdrawal of the executive order through which the judges had been reinstated.
It is pertinent to mention here that President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Gilani and Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani held a critical meeting on Saturday in the backdrop of the current political situation in the country.
The PM and Awami National Party President Asfandyar Wali Khan had also held separate meetings a few days ago with President Zardari at the Presidency to discuss the political situation, coalition issues and measures taken for rehabilitation and reconstruction of flood-affected people, sources said.
