Zardari does not want conflict with judiciary

President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday gave the green signal to the Attorney General and Law Ministry to get the process started for reopening his Swiss cases.

The formal request for reopening of the cases will be filed with the Swiss government by Monday.

Sources told DawnNews that President Zardari realizing that landing on the wrong side of judiciary would make matters worse and would not go well with the public, decided to face the Swiss court cases head on and directed that no hurdles should be created in the implementation of the Supreme Court verdict.

However, the Supreme Court would be told of the immunity he enjoys as president under the Article 248 of the constitution at the right time.

Sources said that the president said that he did not want any confrontation with the judiciary and would respect the Supreme Court’s verdict.
