In an interview with DawnNews, Presidential spokesman, Farhatullah Babar said the government will act upon the Supreme Court directives.
In a recent verdict, the apex court directed the government to write to the Swiss authorities to re-open the cases of corruption against President Zardari.
Babar said the government would implement the apex court’s judgement in letter and spirit. And that legal experts were looking into the matter.
However, he maintained that President Zardari enjoys immunity under Article 248 of the Constitution.
He also told DawnNews that it was premature to talk about an extension of the tenure of Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani.MORE DETAILS.....
