| 2012-02-15 | |
| LAHORE: The contempt of court case is a question of $60 million [allegedly laundered by President Zardari] so it will take time to solve, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan said on Tuesday. Aitzaz Ahsan, who happens to be the counsel for Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani in the Supreme Court contempt case, was taking to the media after submitting his documents in the Election Commission office. He said the respect of parliament would not be at stake due to pending cases. “Although the judiciary has respect, parliament is the supreme institution of the country,” he said, adding that representatives of parliament would be released from all cases with respect and honour. He made it clear that there was no threat to the Supreme Court and all institutions of the country were working within their limits. The PPP leader said his party wanted all institutions of the country to work within their constitutional limits. Aitzaz said that after getting elected a member of parliament, he would work to ensure supremacy of the constitution and the law.
