Responding to the official spokesman's claim that the Swiss examining magistrate has summoned Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari, spokesman of the PPP Senator Farhatullah Babar on Saturday said both have not received any summon in this regard. He said neither Mohtarma Bhutto nor Asif Ali Zardari have yet received the said summons and there was nothing new or surprising in what the official spokesman has said. Farhatullah Babar said that whenever the rulers in Islamabad felt frustrated with their inability to convince the PPP and its leadership to give up its demand for democracy and free and fair elections, they try to agitate investigations in the Swiss case with a view to putting pressure and tarnish the public image of Benazir Bhutto.
"The lawyers are being paid huge sums from public exchequer to agitate the matter before investigation officials in Switzerland to create yet another opportunity for the media trial of Mohtarma Bhutto."
"Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari have not received the notice. They will consult their lawyers on how to respond if and when such a notice is served on them,' Senator Farhatullah Babar said.
