Pakistan Supreme Court said that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is not an honest man as he had not lived up to his constitutional oath.
Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, heading a five-judge bench, said the PM did not appear to be a “sagacious” person as evident from his defiance of the court orders in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case.
Further Court said that the president and the prime minister as well as the law minister could be disqualified from getting elected.
After that Judge read out the six options for the court to proceed with the matter of NRO implementation.
SC bench said that their loyalty is towards their Political Party and not to the Pakistan Constitution.
The bench contended that the Pakistan People's Party-led government's refusal to write a letter to Swiss authorities to reopen cases of alleged money laundering against Zardari went against the Constitution and the Quran.
The bench listed six options for the government, including action against the premier for contempt of court and declaring Gilani ineligible to be a member of parliament for five years – and referred the case to Chief Justice Iftikhar Gilani. The bench recommended that the Chief Justice form a larger bench to hear the matter on January 16.
