Pakistani PM vows to fight terror
Pakistani PM vows to fight terror
Mr Gillani was sworn in on Tuesday |
Pakistan's new Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gillani, has told parliament in Islamabad that his top priority will be the fight against terrorism.
Setting out plans for the first 100 days of his coalition government, he told MPs that "terrorism and extremism" were the country's "greatest problems".
The National Assembly endorsed him with a vote of confidence.
Mr Gillani is a member of the Pakistan People's Party, whose leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in December.
He was sworn in as prime minister on Tuesday at the head of a coalition between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
The parties' success in the 18 February general election was seen as a blow to President Pervez Musharraf.
'Fewer perks'
"It is our first priority to bring peace to the country and fight terrorism," Mr Gillani told parliament.
The government, he added, was willing to talk to militants who laid down their arms.
Mr Gillani announced measures that could lead to integrating Pakistan's lawless tribal areas into the rest of the country, granting tribesmen political and social rights they do not currently have.
The prime minister promised to reduce perks for government ministers, a gesture acknowledging the growing economic hardships for most Pakistanis.
He announced a series of measures to relieve their plight, including urgent steps to deal with a severe power crisis.
Mr Gillani also lifted a ban on student and trade unions, abolished more than two decades ago.
Judges freed
After being approved by parliament on Monday, Mr Gillani's first move was to order the release of top judges detained when President Musharraf imposed emergency rule in November.

Dozens of judges were released during the week, including the deposed chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, who had been under house arrest in Islamabad.
It is the first time in 12 years that the PPP heads a government.
Correspondents say Mr Gillani is much admired within the party for refusing to switch sides and do any deals with President Musharraf.
He was sent to jail in 2001, serving five years following a conviction over illegal government appointments.
The sentence was passed by an anti-corruption court formed by President Musharraf.
The president's opponents say it was a means of intimidating and coercing their members to join his government.
New curfew to curb Iraqi unrest
New curfew to curb Iraqi unrest
Baghdad's Shia Sadr City area has seen heavy clashes |
Baghdad's military command has renewed a round-the clock curfew indefinitely as the government continues a crackdown on Shia militias it began on Tuesday.
The curfew had been due to expire early on Sunday morning but fighting is continuing in some city districts.
Radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr is defying a government deadline for his Mehdi Army militia to lay down its weapons in return for cash.
Across Iraq, the fighting has claimed more than 240 lives since Tuesday.
Despite the continued curfew, some Baghdad residents are rushing to markets to stock up on goods with the price of vegetables doubling in some areas, the BBC's Crispin Thorold reports from the city.
But it is feared the curfew extension will damage the capital economically, as well as inconveniencing residents, he says.
Air strikes
Clashes have continued in some Shia parts of Baghdad.
Iraqi soldiers have met fierce resistance in Basra |
The curfew extension came after a day of skirmishes between security forces and Shia militiamen in the southern city of Basra.
Coalition forces have become more involved with US air raids in Baghdad and Basra in recent days, and the US military says its special forces have been on the ground in Basra, providing support to their Iraqi counterparts.
British artillery in Basra fired on suspected militia mortar positions on Saturday - the first time they have directly joined the government clampdown.
'Legitimate resistance'
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has given militias until 8 April to hand in their weapons in return for cash.

But Moqtada Sadr has said arms will only be surrendered to a government committed to ejecting US-led foreign forces from Iraq.
Speaking to Al-Jazeera TV,, he urged Muslim states and the UN to recognise the "legitimacy of resistance" and back Iraq in driving out "the occupation forces".
Some apparent members of the Iraqi security forces defected to his side on Saturday, handing in their weapons to one of his offices in Baghdad's Sadr City suburb.
"We can't fight our brothers in the Mehdi Army," one of them said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Mr Sadr's followers have in the past rebelled against the US-backed government, although the cleric's political bloc has backed Mr Maliki's ruling coalition.
Casualties mount
Estimates vary of the number of deaths since the fighting broke out.

In Basra, the British military have given a death toll of 50 but local medical sources report as many as 290 dead and the Iraqi army has reported killing 120 "enemy" fighters there.
Scores of people are believed to have been killed in other southern cities, according to Iraqi police or medical reports.
At least 44 people were killed in and around Kut, 15 in Nasiriya, 12 in Karbala and six in Hilla.
