No letter to Swiss government: Firdous
ISLAMABAD: Expressing complete confidence in the superior judiciary, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Monday said the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government believes that it will get justice.Talking to media persons outside the Supreme Court, the minister said that the government will follow constitutional parameters and hopes that all institutions will remain in their respective domains.
She said that a perception has been created that the government will not obey the orders of the Supreme Court which has nothing to do with reality.
"We have come to the Supreme Court by obeying its orders and we came here for supremacy of the Constitution", she said.
To a question about future strategy of the PPP, the minister said that all decisions will be taken in consultation with the allied political parties.
Replying to another question, Dr Firdous said that the government will not hold trial of the grave of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. The president enjoys complete immunity under the Constitution, so no letter can be written to the Swiss government, she added.
She said that Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has become the first Prime Minister in the history of the country who appeared in the Supreme Court twice.
"He will keep respecting courts and their decisions," she said adding "the PPP has sacrificed a lot for revival of this judiciary and for strengthening of the institutions".
