Contempt of court case: ‘Gilani not guilty’

Published Updated

"Asif Ali Zardari has complete immunity as president," Ahsan told reporters.

"There is no harm in writing a letter to the Swiss authorities. He enjoys immunity in Pakistan and abroad as long as he is president," he added.

Ahsan said he did not believe Gilani would be convicted.

"I don't think the prime minister has committed contempt of court by not writing the letter. Through my arguments I will try to convince the court that the prime minister is not guilty of contempt."
