His return is a vindication of the pro-people policies of the government as well as their faith in the present coalition government, he added.

The Prime Minister expressed his confidence that, PPP alongwith its allies would win the coming general elections as well.

He said that Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani's commitment to uphold the constitution will be long remembered.
