MULTAN: Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gillani has said that those who speak against the country or raise anti-state slogans have no right to live in Pakistan.
Addressing a convention o f the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) here on Friday, he said his party respected the mandate given to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Waseem Akhtar as Karachi mayor.
Gillani castigated India for committing atrocities in Indian-held Kashmir. He said the PPP would raise voice against violence in IHK at every forum to express solidarity with Kashmiris.
He claimed he was asked to take an unconstitutional step to save his premiership, but he did not do so.
He criticised the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government for what he said was a government of businessmen who were oblivious to the problems of the local people. He said Imran Khan was incapable of running the government.
Former Punjab governor Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood, Shaukat Basra, Khawaja Rizwan Alam, Dr Javid Siddique, Mureed Qureshi and others also spoke.
