PPP ready to face court cases: Kaira
Thursday, 17 Dec, 2009

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira Thursday said that the leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party is ready to face the fake and politically-motivated cases in the court of law.

Talking to a private TV channel, he said the PPP never fled from facing the cases. Like many other leaders, President Asif Ali Zardari was only facing allegations and he (Zardari) has already spent 11 years in various prisons.

A formal reaction to the NRO verdict would be given after going through the detailed judgment, he added.

He appreciated the learned judges for declaring the controversial NRO as ultra vires saying that the Supreme Court has endorsed the government’s point of view.

He said the NRO had already been rejected by the federal government and parliament. Federal government had also decided not to defend the ordinance in Supreme Court. —APP

Zardari ready to face all kinds of challenges
Thursday, 17 Dec, 2009

ISLAMABAD: In reaction to the decision on the National Reconciliation Ordinance, President Zardari said he is ready to face all kinds of challenges, as he wants to save Pakistan from turning into another Afghanistan.

Speaking to a delegation of journalists from the Hyderabad Press Club at the presidency in Islamabad, Zardari said he is ready to face all the challenges in the same way as Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto faced them.

He said the controversial statement made by Kamal Azfar during the NRO case hearings was uncalled for.

While being reluctant to take questions about the current situation in the country, Zardari said he has been making efforts to change attitudes in the country.

However, the president gave no indication about his future course of action and also stated that he had avoided the NRO at the Supreme Court so that contradiction among the parties could be avoided.
