ISLAMABAD, Jun 22 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Wednesday re-assured the members of minorities in the National Assembly that way is being found to resolve the issue of devolution of minorities’ ministry to the provinces.“Devolution process is on and it would be done in the light of constitution. I have already said it openly that women and minorities are my constituencies and I look after them. I have assured minorities members of all political parties in National Assembly that we will find a way out. We are providing you unprecedented support,” he said in National Assembly.
Earlier, the minorities members including Minister for Interfaith Harmony and Minorities Affairs Akram Masih Gill in the House raised from their seats and protested the devolution of minorities ministry.
Speaker National Assembly asked the minister to have a seat as being a cabinet member he cannot protest in such a way.
The Prime Minister took note of the protest by the minister and warned him to behave.
“I will ask the Minister to behave like a minister. It is not the way you are protesting. You should better go to your seat otherwise I will have to sack you,” he said.
