Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that his coalition government is committed to preserve the Constitution of the country and is working toward the reinstatement of the deposed judges.

Gilani also said the Pakistan Parliament has emerged supreme after the February 18 general elections, which was a clear victory for the people of the country.

Gilani's remarks came during his visit to Saudi Arabia this week while opening of the auditorium of the Pakistan International School at Jeddah where Paskistan People's Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was also present.

The prime minister warned that any violation of the Constitution was punishable by law and those calling for its abrogation would be held accountable.

Gilani said streamlining the economy and maintaining law and order in the country were his government's top priorities.

"Law and order is a major problem. There are some foreign elements disturbing the peace, and we'll curb them. Our foreign policy rests on the sovereignty of the country, dignity, honour and self-respect, and we won't compromise on these," Gilani was quoted as saying in Arab News.

Zardari spelled out the highlights of the Constitutional package.

"The Constitutional package will strengthen the institutions and uphold the sovereignty of Parliament. Our coalition partners are studying it, and if they have any reservations, we will try to resolve them," he said.
