LAHORE: Pakistan People's Party senior leader and renowned lawyer Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan on Saturday said that President Asif Ali Zardari had complte immunity under Article 248 of the Constitution and Vienna conventions.
Talking to media persons after inaugurating an exhibition of Bhutto family photographs, organised by Agha Feroz Akhtar at Alhamra Hall here, he said democracy would be under threat if any unconstitutional step was taken against the government.
He dispelled the impression that he was acting as a mediator between the PPP and the PML-N or the government and the judiciary and termed media reports baseless.
Responding to a question regarding a court order on the NRO implementation case, he said the five-member bench of the SC had referred the matter to the larger bench of the apex court.
He said he had submitted an application to the party for a Senate seat and denied any offer for the position of prime minister or Senate chairman.
To another question about the removal of defence secretary, he said it was the right of the prime minister to form his team.
Earlier, he inaugurated the exhibition and said that such exhibitions should be organised in other cities like Islamabad by the government.
He urged the PPP workers to visit the exhibition so that they could know sacrifices of the Bhutto family for the country and democracy. About 2,000 photographs have been displayed in the exhibition.
