LAHORE: Former prime minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has said that he accepted the Supreme Court order of his disqualification like Socrates.

Speaking at a SAFMA ceremony here on Saturday, Gilani said that he was the only former prime minister present in the country after leaving the office unlike others who had either gone abroad or dead.

He said that parliament is sovereign, linking the survival of democracy in Pakistan with the assemblies completing their terms.
