Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani – File Photo

LAHORE: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said that there are bigger concerns than just the memogate scandal in Pakistan but Nawaz Sharif never went to court for those and it is unclear why he is pushing on this issue only, DawnNews reported on Sunday.

Gilani was talking to the media at his residence in Lahore. He said that Pakistan has sacrificed 30,000 civilians and 5,000 soldiers in the war against terrorism. The world must recognise Pakistan’s sacrifices which are more than what Nato forces has done.

He further said that Pakistan is devising policies on Kashmir, the nuclear programme, US, Nato and Isaf which will reflect the will of Pakistani people.

He further reiterated that there is no danger to the government, which is fairly treating everyone and said that the people are continuing to support the government.
