Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
will continue to hold his office even if convicted in the contempt of court case, declares Governor Sardar Latif Khosa.
"There has been a consensus in the Pakistain People's Party that there will be no replacement of Gilani (if he is convicted). In case of conviction, Gilani will not be disqualified from holding the office," the governor, who is also a lawyer by profession, said in a talk with Dawn on Thursday.
Khosa was however quick to predict that Gilani would escape punishment in the case. "The prime minister cannot be convicted under the Constitution, and I hope the apex court decision will be in accordance with it (constitution)."
