Total defiance of the government to comply with Supreme Court’s last
warning for writing letter to Swiss authorities in National
Reconciliation Ordinance case expires today (Tuesday) leaving the apex
court with no option but to proceed with contempt of court. Institutional
tension has raised after the Executive has shown total disregard to
the directives of the judiciary in the NRO case, which many believed
could cost the prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, his job in case the controversy drags on.
Extra ordinarily corrupt Zardari, who is also PPP gang's Co-Chairperson, added shamelessly to the
heightened tension between the Executive and Judiciary by leaving the
matter for the next government to write to Swiss authorities. “I
would only remain president for the next 12-15 months after which the
next government may write to Swiss courts”, Zardari told a
private TV channel on January 7, adding ‘why would his (burglar) government do so?’
The shameless Zardari
said NRO case and Swiss courts would have a significance in history,
thus, ‘neither he nor the Prime Minister would want such a thing to be
part of the history’. This shows height of shamelessness.
President said he was not afraid of
Article-248 and that he considered Swiss case as a trial of Benazir
Bhutto grave, adding that it was the decision of party not to
write to Swiss courts.
According to the constitutional analysts,
the Supreme Court could punish Prime Minister Gilani in contempt of
court for minimum of six months and up to two years in line with the
18th constitutional Amendment. The Supreme Court on its last
hearing on implementation of the NRO case had issued last warning to the
government to write letter to Swiss Court about the ill-gotten $60
million belonging to President Zardari and his late spouse
Benazir Bhutto stashed in the Swiss banks.
On other hand, some
people believed that there were $97 billion dollars stashed in Swiss
banks belonging largely to Pakistani politicians, and feared that if
government did not implement the apex court directives in NRO case, the
entire efforts to bring back the ill-gotten wealth stashed in the Swiss
banks would go never bear fruits.
Meanwhile, quoting sources
private TV channels claimed that the stooge, cowardly President Asif Ali Zardari may leave
for Dubai today, notwithstanding such serious situation. “All arrangements have been finalized and the President
may leave for Dubai any time soon,” it said.
