The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday told Aitzaz Ahsan that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani could be indicted in contempt of court case if he failed to convince the court on president’s immunity. Aitzaz Ahsan argued before a nine member-bench headed by Justice Nasirul Mulk, as the apex court resumed hearing in contempt case against the prime minister, that contempt case should be revoke as court orders regarding writing letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari,could not be implemented as he enjoyed immunity both in and outside the country. He said the prime minister adheres to rules and regulations and on legal matters follows the advice of the Law Minister and Law Secretary. Aitzaz Ahsan said Prime Minister Gilani has full respect for the court and appeared before it without any reservations. The counsel prayed the court to dismiss the contempt of court notice against the Prime Minister.
