Pakistani PM Under Pressure


 Supreme Court on Thursday ordered P M Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to implement its order in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case by writing a letter to Swiss authorities to reopen the graft cases against President Asif Ali Zradari, and submit the compliance report by July 25.

A 5-members bench, led by Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and comprising Justice, Justice Ijaz, Ejaz Afzal Ahmed Chaudhry, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Muhammad Athar Saeed, heard the NRO implementation case.

“The prime minister shall cause a report to be submitted before this court by July 25 regarding compliance of the directions contained in paragraph numbers 177 and 178 of the judgment passed by this court in the Dr Mobashir Hassan case, and failing which this court may initiate any appropriate action under the Constitution and the law,” the court ruled in its order.
