“The PML-N did not intend to resign from the Parliament but only want to only put a blame on us,” he said while talking to the newsmen on Wednesday. Gilani said the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the PPP will discuss all these issue. “If the CEC of the PPP asked to resign, the PML-N will not resign,” he said.
Asked about reports of reopening of Swiss case against former president Asif Ali Zardari, Gilani said Swiss cases are now shut cases. “The opening of case against Zardari just a mischievous attempt,” he said.
