Islamabad, May 27 : Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani today said what he likes most in President Pervez Musharraf is his support for democracy and his straight-forwardness.

“He (Musharraf) supports democracy. He is very frank, straight-forward,” Gilani said in an interview with a private television channel on Tuesday.

Gilani said his government would support the policies of the previous government if these coincided with the PPP manifesto -- issues like Women Protection Bill and women's representation in assemblies.
