Pakistan peoples party (PPP) Senator Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan has said that as long as Asif Ali Zardari is President, no court can summon him and there was no question of him being summoned by a two member bench of the Lahore High Court on charges of holding dual offices of President of the country and chairman of the party. In an interview, Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan said that there has been no change in PPP stance regarding writing of a letter to Swiss authorities and according to his (Aitzaz) opinion, Prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf would meet the same fate as that met by Former PM Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani. He said President Asif Ali Zardari enjoys immunity under the Pakistani constitution and under international law. Aitzaz Ahsan added that democracy has been restored in the country after numerous and great sacrifices and no step should be taken which could hurt the democratic setup. He said all institutions of the State including the Judiciary should remain within their constitutionally mandated limit.
