Former Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan said on Saturday that the impeachment of the president would not pose any threat to democracy in the country.
Talking to journalists, he denied the reports that he was working for any connection between the judiciary and the government.
Replying a query about his role as a bridge between the government and the judiciary, he dispelled the speculations and said he was not playing any such role.
The prominent layer said that his view point on writing letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardai was different from that of party. He said according to Vienna Convention the president enjoyed immunity.
He said he was not offered to become Senate chairman or prime minister. Ahsan said the Supreme Court of Pakistan had not given six options to the government instead the options were for the larger bench of the apex court.
He said there was no threat to democracy in the case if president was impeached or the prime minister was removed through constitutional means.
He said according to article 248, the president enjoyed blanket immunity. Replying a question, he said in his view point the government should write letter to the Swiss government.
Ahsan said that he had applied for party ticket for upcoming Senate election.

  1. O Allaha save this country from another cunning future president,otherwise all the secracies of the country may be forwarded to U.S.A as was done during BB`s time in 1988 to India.O Allaha save this country from secure and ibnul-waqt toola.

  2. Let us face it! Pakistan is like a rudderless boat in a stormy sea and has sprung a leak. The captain (AZ) has no experience and is sending out SOS to UK and USA. The Matros(PM)
    is asking the crew (Cabinet) to keep on bailing the water out but they are jumping off the boat with or without lifewests on. The salvage boat (Army) is on the standby but will come to help if the fees is right(total capitulation) or custody through a agent(SC) .The passengers(pakistanis )are crying Help,help! The captain assures them " every thing will be O.K." After all i am the spirtual son of ZAB. Wait for Aitzaz! He will fix the leak or wait for Allah!

  3. Yes, another slimy opportunist with dubious credentials speaks. I wonder when the Khalsa will get to his turn.
