Govt decides to file review plea* Kaira says govt not informed of any arrest order against Raja
ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to file a review petition against the Supreme Court’s order in the rental power projects case.
Sources revealed to Daily Times that the government is considering filing a review petition against the SC order for the arrest all 12 accused in RPPs scam. They informed that Attorney General of Pakistan Irfan Qadir might move the review petition on Wednesday (today), and it is expected that he would make aggressive arguments in the petition.
The sources said that although the review would be moved against the apex court’s order but it had not been decided whether it would be filed by the government or NAB. Meanwhile, the government said it has not been informed of any arrest order against the prime minister. “So far we have not received anything from the Supreme Court in writing. The government, the Law Ministry and the prime minister have not received any order from the Supreme Court,” Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira told a private TV channel. Interior Minister Rehman Malik said there is a difference between an accused and a culprit, and just to remove concerns “I would say that Raja Pervez Ashraf is still a prime minister and he would continue as the same.” staff report
