‘Third party’ can exploit govt-SC tussle: Aitzaz
ISLAMABAD: Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, the counsel for Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani in a contempt of court case, said on Thursday a “third force” could benefit from the ongoing confrontation between the judiciary and executive. Speaking to the media after the Supreme Court ruled to frame contempt charges against the prime minister, Aitzaz Ahsan said there was “definitely” an option for the government to file an appeal against the court’s decision. “My advice to my client will be to file an appeal, but the decision rests with him,” he said. He said the court should also hold those generals responsible for contempt who had not only dismissed judges but also arrested them along with their children. Supreme Court Bar Association President Yaseen Azad said Thursday’s verdict of the court could trigger constitutional crisis in the country. staff report
