Pakistani PM Gilani says he, not Zardari, is running government

By DPA,

Islamabad : Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Monday said he, and not President Asif Ali Zadari, is running the country.

Zadari is under growing pressure to relinquish his sweeping powers that the premier is envisaged to have in the country’s original constitution.

“I should tell you that I am the chief executive and the chief executive is the head of the government,” Gilani said in an interview with DPA.

“He (Zardari) is the head of the state and I am the head of the government. It’s a childish question who is running the government,” he said, denying that there were any differences between him and Zardari on the issue.
