‘No one has power to dissolve assemblies’: PM

The real news is often behind the denials:

Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gillani Friday stated in unequivocal terms that “no one has the power to dissolve the country's assemblies.” He said unlike previous governments, the purpose of his scheduled visit to the US is not to strike any kind of deal. All the decisions will be made for the greater interest of the country, he added. The Premier said important issues including the scourge of terrorism will come under discussion during meeting with the US leaders. Replying a question regarding US and Saudi aid, he said the good news will be shared with the people as soon as the country receives it.


Somebody should give him a quick lesson in Constitution 101 - specifically article 58-2b. If the present chaos and uncertainty continues in the country then that day (god forbid) will come soon when the people would again be welcoming the khakis with garlands.

Good news?
