Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s lawyer in the contempt of court case Aitzaz Ahsan said on Friday that National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza had made a “right” decision by not sending a reference against the premier to the Election Commission of Pakistan. Talking to reporters, he said the Supreme Court verdict mentioned the “possibility” of ineligibility of the prime minister, and the speaker had made the decision on the question of “possibility”. He said that only the speaker was authorised to make decision on the question of ineligibility of any member of the National Assembly. Aitzaz said he had worked hard to file an appeal against Gilani’s conviction, adding that he would be disappointed if the government decided against filing the appeal.
He said the appeal contained 146 objections over the court’s verdict. He said that discussions were ongoing in the party that since the PM had gone through the “punishment”, and the speaker had also given her decision therefore there was no need to drag the matter further. He said he had never come across the word “ridicule” in prime minister’s indictment, therefore the question of his disqualification does not arise. He said the judges repeatedly said during the hearing of the contempt case that the prime minister had ridiculed the judiciary during his address in Bahawalpur. He said this was a separate matter which needed a separate indictment, and then the court could proceed further in this regard.

  1. It was the right decision because he was the one who drafted it in the main and finally cleared it after it had been through different legal functionaries. Shame on you Mr Chaudhry.

    If you had your legal practice in the UK a police investigation to pervert the course of public justice would have been guaranteed. Following this you would have faced charges. A conviction would have cut you to size. It is very sad you are misleading people.

  2. aitzaz is behind money n saving his position with his Govt. He is protecting several cases of corrupt malik riaz killing poors rights. Chaudhary think about ur end. At last u r Muslim n u have to go to Almighty Allah. Dont support corrupt people. This haram money will not make peace in rest.
