NRO dead and ‘buried forever’: Gilani | Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that the controversial issue of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) is dead has been ‘buried forever’.
Interacting with media persons on the sidelines of a function in Jamber where
he inaugurated a power plant, Gilani said the NRO was no longer ‘an issue’. When
enquired that whether Islamabad would discuss India’s alleged involvement in fanning
insurgency in Balochistan with New Delhi, Gilani said the issue could come up
for discussions, but only when his counterpart Dr. Manmohan Singh comes forward
for talks. He said Pakistan believed in maintaining friendly relations with all
its neighbours, including India , on the basis of equality. Commenting on the
on-going military operation in South Waziristan , the stronghold of the Taliban,
Gilani said the extremists would soon be flushed out of the region. “In view of
the nation’s high spirits, it will not take long to fight out the terrorists,”
The Daily Times quoted Gilani, as saying. Gilani stressed that a peaceful political
environment was imperative for the country’s economy to improve. Despite the prevalent
political chaos in the country, he said the situation was stable and pointed out
that the Pakistan People’s Party ( PPP ) is working to take all political parties
on board. |
