Islamabad : President Pervez Musharraf Tuesday renewed his support to the new government shortly after he administered oath to the new Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani.
“I will extend my full support to him, always,” President Pervez Musharraf told reporters when asked about his role in the new government.
“All the political forces in the country needed to work together to confront the threats of extremism and terrorism looming ahead”.
“If we all move forward, maintaining our balance, it will be good, but in this regard the prime minister will have to play a leading role,” the President added.
When asked about his cooperation with the President, he said, Pakistan was on the crossroads and passing through a sensitive phase.
“We need the cooperation of everybody.”
“The nation has high hopes from us and we need to deliver and if we fail, they would loose all hope.”
The Prime Minister said on the occasion that he would announce the 100-day program at the floor of the house, soon after taking the vote of confidence.
Gillani stressed that all forces need to join hands to take the country out of these crises.
“We need support of all. What is parliament. Parliament is the President, the National Assembly and the Senate… therefore we have to ensure supremacy of the parliament,” he said.
Both the leaders stressed the need for political forces in the country to get united to effectively confront the challenges of terrorism, extremism and economic issues.
They expressed the resolve to cooperate and take the country forward on path of progress and prosperity.
