Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said that the matter of immunity to the president should be referred to the Parliament.

Talking to print media in Lahore on Sunday, Prime Minister Gilani said that, those who want to come in power should wait for the right time, adding that with this attitude they cant serve the nation.

The prime minister reiterated that only Parliament could waive off the immunity and even the president himself was not competent to do so.

Gilani noted that the 19th Amendment was passed by the Parliament to facilitate appointment of judges of the superior judiciary and in accordance with the views of the Supreme Court.
Answering a question he said Mehran gate case is opened by Judiciary not government. While PML-N will never present resolution of Sariki province.
He said prime minister was also like an ordinary citizen and could be summoned by the court. He, however, said that it had negative impact on country’s economy and the stock exchange.

On Balochistan, the Prime Minister said the main issue facing the southwestern province was law and order. He said he would hold discussion with the Balochistan leadership on the progress made so far on Aghaz-i-Haqooq-e-Balochistan Package and how far the various resolutions passed by the provincial assembly had been implemented.
