FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The “contempt of court bill” was passed late on Monday by the National Assembly, which is the lower house of the Pakistani parliament.
The bill gives the president, prime minister and ministers immunity against contempt charges for acts performed as part of their job.
The document, proposed byFederal Law Minister Farooq H Naek, has yet to be passed by the upper house and signed off by the president before it becomes law.
The move seems to be aimed at a July 12 deadline the Pakistani Supreme Court has given new Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Ashraf has to indicate by then whether he will obey an order to ask Swiss authorities to reopen multi-million dollar corruption cases against the president.
His predecessor, Yousuf Raza Gilani, was dismissed on June 19 for refusing to do so.
The allegations against Zardari date back to the 1990s. He and his wife, slain Premier Benazir Bhutto, are suspected of using Swiss bank accounts to launder millions of dollars paid in bribes by companies seeking customs inspection contracts.
Switzerland suspended the cases in 2008 when Zardari became president, but in 2009 Pakistan’s Supreme Court overturned a political amnesty that had frozen investigations, ruling that the cases be reopened.
