Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party leader and senior lawyer Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan has reiterated that President Asif Ali Zardari enjoys immunity in the country and Switzerland as well under Vienna convention.
Speaking to media on Wednesday, he said that accountability courts had also accepted that Zardari enjoyed immunity.
Ahsan said that SC’s dignity would be dented if Swiss authorities refused to reopen cases against Zardari.
He said Zardari would enjoy immunity until he remained the president. He said that the immunity was given by the Constitution.
He once again reiterated his point of view that there was no harm in writing letter to Swiss authorities.
Replying a query regarding contempt of court notice to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilan,Ahsan said that he wanted to maintain apex court’s dignity and honour. He said no contempt of court was committed by the prime minister.
However, he said there should be some suspense in what he would say in the apex court on Thursday while representing Gilani.
