The Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday exhorted Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to appear before the judiciary in Supreme Court of Pakistan to answer court's contempt notice. The apex court on Monday issued a contempt notice to Gilani, ordering him to appear personally before it on January 19 for failing to implement SC verdict on NRO case.
"Gilani should face the Supreme Court bench. The situation would have been differed today had he acted upon my advises," the former prime minister said while talking to reporters at Sukkur airport. Nawaz said government's allies were also be considered involved in humiliating prestigious institutions, saying "they are equally responsible for the present political turmoil."
He was of the view that some judges should also be impeached for legalising dictatorship in the past. Later, Nawaz arrived in Pir Jo Goth near Khairpur to meet Pir Sibghatullah Shah Rashidi, also known as Raja Saein who was elected eight Pir Pagara of the Hur community. Rashidi is eldest son of Late Pir Syed Mardan Shah II who died in London last week.
Talking to media representatives alongside the Pir Pagara, Nawaz accused the ruling clique creating threats for democracy's survival. "The democracy has no threat from anyone, other than the attitude of the present rulers." "Pakistan is passing through critical phase. We all should join hands together because no single party can steer it out of crises," he said, ruling out possibility of his faction's dialogues with the PPP, and pledged to carry on co-operation with Pagara's PML-Functional.
He urged the government to abide by Supreme Court orders and write letter to Swiss authorities for details of President Zardari's bank accounts. "Why they are reluctant to contact Swiss government... Zardari should prove that it's his own money, and not of the nation."
