A constitutional petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday, praying to restrain President Asif Ali Zardari from holding his office for allegedly violating the constitution and his oath. Hafiz Muhammad Asim filed the petition through Azhar Siddique advocate, asking for the interpretation of Article 47 of the Constitution after a recent statement of the president wherein he had said that if the Article 47 was invoked, he would not accept the constitution. Petitioner termed the statement a violation of the constitution by the president, within the meaning of the Article 6 of the constitution.
