All eyes on SC as PM’s letter deadline ends
ISLAMABAD - The deadline given by the Supreme Court to the prime minister to write a letter to Swiss authorities expires today (Wednesday) when the Supreme Court resumes hearing in the NRO implementation case. The case will be heard by a five-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and comprising Justice Ameer Hani Muslim, Justice Ijaz Afzal Khan, Justice Ijaz Ahmad Chaudhry and Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed. The court had given an August 8 deadline to Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to write to Swiss authorities for reopening graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari. The government’s defiance has already cost it a prime minister, when Yousaf Raza Gilani was sent packing by the apex court on June 19 over charges of committing contempt by defying court orders in the NRO judgment. The judiciary-executive tussle has left the country in a rut, with both sides trying to outdo the other by claiming supremacy over the other. The government has time again taken the stance that parliament was the supreme authority in the country and its decisions were unquestionable. The government also got a resolution passed in favour of former PM Gilani in an attempt to safeguard him from contempt proceedings, but when the calling came, there was no stopping the judiciary from sending Gilani out of office. Once the new PM was ushered into office, the government got to work to devise ways not to let another PM bite the dust. With parliament apparently acting as a mere stooge to the ruling elite, a new contempt law was passed by the National Assembly making the president, PM, chief ministers, governors and ministers above accountability by the apex court, even if they indulged in immoral criticism of the court with “good intentions”. However, the parliament’s supremacy did not last long when the SC struck down the new contempt law on August 3, only after 24 days in enforcement.
The SC action has again put the PPP in a tight spot as its PM heads to court today, leaving many to speculate his fate.

you seem to be looking with jaundiced eyes at the CJ. Abidi has gone made his medical examination must be conducted by zardari or you
A former BATA foreman has no business being a PM anyway. Its not like he has some talent, skill, education, honour or respect anyway. If he is sent home, it won't be a loss at all.
Arsalan Iftakhar and his "papa" got about 55 Million rupees in "salamees" on his second marriage Walieema this year. Lawyers wanting to become judges, litigants and other interested parties paid lacks of rupees to the son in presence of dad CJ. Arsalan and dad arranged two Waleemas. One in Lahore and one in Islamabad to grab maximum money and gifts from non-relatives. Arsalan has is said to have a ten years old daughter from a previous marriage. Good money. Good Power. Good Women.
