He asked why the resentment by 48 countries was not kept in mind while discussing the reopening of NATO supply routes in the parliament. Former ambassador to US Husain Haqqani wrote a book against Pakistan Army and received $100,000 from the American think-tank,” Khan alleged. “PTI is not against the army, rather it wants to save it as the army should not have any role in politics.” He said the PTI will announce its agenda regarding the NATO supply routes during a rally in Rawalpindi on May 27.

PM contempt case: Govt to file appeal on Thursday

Posted:

According to sources, about 150 objections would be raised against the Supreme Court verdict. The poetry of Justice Asif Saeed Khosa would also be criticized from literary point of view. The sources also said that the Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani would consult his legal advisors during a meeting in this regard.  Gilani was summoned before the Supreme Court on Jan 19 for failing to take steps to re-open money-laundering proceedings against President Asif Ali Zardari. He was indicted for contempt of court on Feb 13. The civilian-judicial confrontation stems from thousands of cases thrown out in 2007 under an amnesty ordered by former military president Pervez Musharraf, which paved the way for a return to civilian rule.  Zardari was the decree’s most prominent beneficiary. He became the main target of the court when it voided the measure in 2009 and ordered the government to ask Swiss authorities to restart legal action against him. The cases date back to the 1990s, when Zardari had multiple cases of corruption lodged against him, including accusations of money laundering using Swiss accounts. He says all the cases are false and politically motivated. Gilani and his advisers have defied the court, citing the president’s constitutional immunity as head of state. The prime minister appealed the court’s decision to charge him with contempt, but that appeal was dismissed in February.
