Talking to a private news channel on Thursday, he said Yousuf Raza Gilani is a political figure and has deep contacts with the nation, as he is quite aware of the problems of the common people.

He hailed prime minister's initiative of inviting prominent personalities from different walks of life because he thinks that any person from any segment of society can give a good suggestion to improve governance and the government should accept that suggestion.
