Former Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that he performed his duties in good faith as the PM of Pakistan for more than four years. The decisions were taken by him on the summaries submitted by the Ministries and Divisions through the Establishment Division. The Constitution of Pakistan provides complete immunity to the PM and therefore he is not accountable to any law enforcement agency for what he did as the Chief Executive of Pakistan, he added.
He maintained that it was only the Parliament that could do or undo the immunity because the Parliament was the mother of all institutions in a parliamentary system of democracy. He reiterated his stance that he was not answerable to law enforcement agencies for the decisions he took as the PM of Pakistan because of the immunity provided in the Constitution. He said he took the stance in the Court regarding the availability of immunity to the President of Pakistan but his plea was not accepted and was disqualified.
