ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari Saturday said that the former prime minister had appeared before the court out of respect, the incumbent should also follow the suit, but ex-PM Gilani was of the view that this time PPP should change the strategy, Geo News reported.
President Zardari said this in a high-level meeting held here at the Presidency.
Ministers and senior leaders of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) attended the meeting.
According to sources, former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, begged to differ with the President regarding the appearance of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf before the court.
“This time Prime Minister should not produce himself before the court, party leadership should give second thoughts to it, otherwise they would have another Gilani”, said former PM.
Many senior ministers put their weight behind Gilani’s suggestion of not letting the PM meet a fate same as former prime minister’s.
On the other hand an adamant President Zardari said that he was well aware of the possible outcome, but prime minister’s not appearing before the court would leave a bad impression.
He added that the ultimate beneficiary of this whole ordeal would be the government.
