Gilani says Pak SC can't challenge Speaker's 'final' ruling over his disqualification

Islamabad -  Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza's ruling pertaining to the reference of his disqualification was final and could  not be challenged.

Gilani said he would not take the opposition's threats seriously, adding that it was constituted of people who had "nothing better to do than misleading people", reports the Daily Times.

He said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan were not members of parliament and therefore could not understand  its importance.

Gilani added that parliament could not be "held hostage" by a handful of people.

"The prime minister is not important, it is parliament and the system that is important," Gilani was quoted, as saying.
