ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly on Thursday passed a resolution in favour of its Speaker’s ruling refusing to disqualify Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, DawnNews reported.

According to the resolution reposing confidence in NA Speaker Fehmida Mirza, her earlier ruling in favour of the prime minister can not be challenged on any forum.
