President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Friday discussed the current political issues confronting the government, including the implementation of the Supreme Court’s order in the NRO implementation case. Gilani went straight to the Presidency after reaching Islamabad where the two discussed the current situation. The government is facing legal challenges, particularly the implementation on some parts of the SC order in the NRO case which included writing a letter to the Swiss authorities for reopening of cases against the president. According to sources, both leaders discussed the strategy for January 16 hearing in the NRO implementation case in the SC. They said the memo controversy also came under discussion during the meeting. The Defence Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) is also holding its crucial meeting today (Saturday), which will be chaired by the prime minister. COAS General Ashfaq Kayani will also attend the meeting along with other services chiefs. The sources said both the leaders also developed a strategy as to how to go forward on the issue after the committee meeting.
