The office of Attorney General of Pakistan on Saturday received the
Supreme Court order on writing letter to Swiss authorities for reopening
of corruption cases against the extra ordinarily corrupt President Asif Ali Zardari.
On March
8, a seven-member SC bench hearing NRO implementation case directed
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to write to Swiss authorities for
reopening of the cases against the president regardless of advice of the
secretaries.It was the first time that the Supreme Court has
directly asked the Prime Minister to write letter to Swiss authorities
till March 21 to comply with para 178 of NRO verdict. Previously, the
directives were conveyed through the Law Ministry.
Aitzaz Ahsan,
counsel for the PM, told the court that the Prime Minister had not
wilfully defied the order but only acted on the advice of the Law
Ministry.
According to a senior lawyer, Raza Kazim, the court has
once again given opportunity to the PM to comply with the court order.
“If the PM does not write, the court will have no other option but to
convict him in the contempt case,” he added. But, according to Aitzaz
Ahsan, the court never asked the PM directly to implement the judgment,
instead, it directed the federation to reopen corruption cases against shameless
President Zardari. However, on Saturday the SC order for writing to
Swiss authorities landed in the AG office.
