He said now the Shamsi airbase is under the control of Pakistani forces.To a question about Saraiki province, the prime minister said Saraiki province is desire of the people and it is an important matter which cannot be left for the next parliament. The government will approach the present assembly for creation of the Saraiki province, he added.To another question about his statement under which he said that he will resign but will not write a letter to the Swiss government on the issue of NRO, the Prime Minister said he never said this and his statement was presented in a wrong way.To a question that the killers of Benazir Bhutto were not punished, he said, “I only want to tell you this, if you see that in high profile cases, it takes time. And you have seen other cases of murder in the country, about which nothing has come up yet. This matter is sub judice, in the judiciary and we should wait for results.”
