LAHORE: Former prime minister, Yusuf Raza Gilani Sunday said that the constitution was supreme, but it was parliament that made it, Geo News reported.

 

Talking to media at the Lahore Railway station here, Yusuf Raza Gilani said that we ensured the stability of the parliament. Pakistan was not a failed state, one prime minister went out, another came in.

 

The former prime minister said that Pakistan People’s Party was the only federal party of the country.

 

Gilani added that the outcome in the next elections would not be that diffrent as the PPP had the majority in the Senate and would continue to play an important role.

 

Regarding the Defence Pakistan Council (DPC) long march on the Nato supply issue, he said that most of them were chronic ‘jihadis’. He said that weather was pleasant today; DPC would be provided water and other facilities.

 

When asked about the dual nationality issue, Gilani replied that consultations would also be held on this issue.

Parliament of the distant past made the constitution and you took your oath under the same constitution which you yourself violated to keep your co corrupt friend intact.

So everyone agrees that Constitution is supreme - right? So then where does PCO stand? And who ever takes oath under PCO and assists in suspension of the constitution - What should be the punishment for that person?

The dumbo does not know the difference between a constituent assembly and a parliament. The constituent aswsembly frames the constitution and approves it. Then all the peoples representative take oath as defined under the constitution as members of parliament. The parliament can amend the cinstitution only within its basic framework but cannot annul it. If PArliament has to work under the constitution and cannot undo it, it cannot be supreme

Gilani is a stupid son of satan. He talks nonsence all the time and exposes the dumb brain of Zardari. He said Bhutto never bowed his head. (because it was broken after his hanging.) He loves Benazir because she comitted suicide. All Bhutto family is dead because they were all crooks. Gilani should pray for lives of himself, Zardar and Gilani childern. No body is going to follow him in hell.
