LAHORE: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has said that in the greater national interest and in pursuance of its policy of national reconciliation, the Pakistan Peoples Party has decided to remain part of the coalition government in Punjab.
The Prime Minister said this during his meeting with Chief Minister Punjab and President PML (N), Mian Shahbaz Sharif who called on him at his residence here on Saturday evening.
