The Pakistani prime minister has said he will comply with a supreme court order summoning him for a hearing related to his government's failure in reopening corruption cases.
After the court issued a contempt of court notice against him on Monday, Yousuf Raza Gilani said he respected the decision and would appear for the hearing on January 19.
The setback delivered by the judiciary was offset somewhat by the boost Gilani received when he won a "show of confidence vote" in the National Assembly, or parliament, which passed a "resolution in favour democracy" later in the day.
Speaking during the vote, Gilani ruled out resigning, saying: "The court has summoned me, and in respect I will go on January 19."
