LAHORE Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Sunday that President Asif Zardari and himself faced dictatorship with courage while PML-N president Mian Nawaz Sharif flew away after signing an agreement with Pervez Musharraf.

He said in a meeting with the office bearers of Lahore Press Club    at his residence, while commenting on a statement of PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif.

The prime minister said the PPP leadership would face dictatorship whenever it is needed, whereas the Sharif brothers would again flee from the country.

He said the PML-N leadership wanted to enjoy the benefits of being in opposition and in the Punjab government at the same time.

“ If PML-N leadership has courage then they should resign from the assemblies and I will announce by-polls on the same day,” he challenged.
