SLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's new prime minister said fighting terrorism will be his government's top priority.
Yousaf Raza Gilani made the pledge on Saturday in his first policy speech in parliament since lawmakers elected him earlier this week.
Earlier Saturday, lawmakers passed unopposed a motion expressing confidence in Gilani, a loyalist of assassinated former premier Benazir Bhutto.
In his speech, Gilani said extremism was a serious problem for Pakistan. Restoring pace and eliminating terrorism are "our top priority," he said.
Are ALL politicians liars?
This guy sure sounds like he is full of pooh.
