GARHI KHUDA BUX: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday said there no possibility of a clash existed among the state institutions, provided they all worked within the ambit of the Constitution.

In a brief interaction with media persons after offering his respects at the mausoleum of slain Benazir Bhutto, Gilani said the Parliament was supreme and would take decision on all issues of national importance. He said the supremacy of the Parliament would be ensured.

The prime minister said the investigation into the case of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination was almost complete and its details would be revealed in due course of time.

In response to queries, he said the matter was ‘subjudice’ and he could not further comment on it.

“I don’t want the inquiry to be affected in any manner,” he said, adding that her martyrdom was an international tragedy.

Gilani said the decision to share details of any aspect of the interrogation could only be made by Central Executive Committee of the party. Any aspect of the ongoing investigation could also be shared by the Interior Minister, he added.

To a question on whether a conspiracy was being hatched against the government, he said certain elements from time to time had been trying to create differences between the judiciary and the government, and also between the president and the prime minister, but in vain.

He said that the true party workers were determined and the ones who left the party were selfish.

“I can only say that such ‘king’s parties’ remain in the news only till the king is there”, Gilani said.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by Chairman Senate Farooq H. Naek, Interior Minister Rehman Malik and Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah.
