Army creating no hurdle in Musharraf`s trial: Gilani
SHEIKHUPURA, Aug 15 Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Saturday the law would take its course in the case of former president Pervez Musharaf.
“We have no love for him and neither the army has anything to do with the trial nor is it creating any hurdle,” the prime minister told newsmen after inaugurating a rental power plant on the Sheikhupura Road here.
About the Swat situation, he said a major part of it had been cleared of terrorists, but there were problems at a few places that they would be sorted out shortly. The army would stay there till restoration of the writ of the government, he added.
He said the National Finance Commission had been re-constituted and the award would be announced soon.
“We had flour shortage, terrorism attacks, Indian threats following the Mumbai incident, loadshedding and sugar crisis. The government has overcome some of the crises with the support of the masses and it is taking effective measures to deal with the rest,” the prime minister said.
In reply to a question about rise in power tariff after installation of rental power plants, Mr Gilani said no such move was on the cards at present.
