Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Yaseen Azad Wednesday urged Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to write letter to the Swiss courts at all cost, adding there is something somewhere which is spurring misunderstanding.
A delegation of 209 lawyers led by Azad left for India through Wahga border to attend a two-day International Law Conference.
Talking to media before his departure, Azad said the government said President basks under the immunity entitled by Article-248, underscoring that if there are more than one opinion concerning a particular article of the Constitution, then it is incumbent upon the apex court to interpret that article.
Azad prayed to the court to interpret the Article-248, so that the government may come out of the maze over the immunity, adding all National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) verdicts should be implemented.
The SCBA President stressed if all the institutions work in their respective jurisdiction, then no clash will ensue, and if clash occurs, it would be detrimental to the country and institutions alike.
Short of Kashmir issue, the soured relations between Pakistan and India cannot be improved, as it is the core issue between the two countries, Azad emphasized adding if the Kashmir dispute is resolved, the money spent on defence can be used for people’s welfare.
