Government finally acknowledges 'Punjabi Taliban', says Gilani

MULTAN: Former prime minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that the existence of 'Punjabi Taliban' has now been confirmed on the government level, adding that in the past the Punjab government always denied their presence.

Talking to media here on Sunday, the former premiere said that it was not easy for Pakistan People’s Party-led coalition government to complete 5-year term.

He said the then government refrained itself from politics of violence and revenge, ensuring that there were no political prisoners during the whole term.

Gilani said that the PPP is enjoying their governments in Gilgit-Baltistan and Sindh.

He congratulated the PPP candidates on winning their seats in the by-election.
