ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani vowed to stand together to address the challenges face by the nation.

In a meeting that held in PM House on Friday the Prime Minister and the Army Chief underscored the significance of national unity to address all the challenges.

Taking serious note of the rumors regarding a confrontation over the Memo issue, the Prime Minister strongly rejected the notion. The Prime Minister reiterated that the Government of Pakistan and its institutions remained committed to their constitutional roles and obligations to a democratic and prosperous future for Pakistan.

The Prime Minister further said that the government’s stance regarding jurisdiction of the honourable court on the Memo issue was still to be heard by the court.

The Prime Minister and the Army Chief also agreed that replies forwarded by the COAS and DG ISI were in response to the notice of the Honourable Court, through proper channel and in accordance with the rules of business and should not be misconstrued as a standoff between the Army and the government.
