Government vs. judiciary in Pakistan




Inside Story show

Summary: The ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP), has accepted a Supreme Court decision that disqualified Yusuf Raza Gilani from his post as the country's prime minister. Gilani was convicted two months ago of contempt, for refusing to open a corruption case against his ally President Asif Ali Zardari. And as part of the Supreme Court ruling, any decisions made by Gilani since his April 26th contempt of court conviction can now be challenged.
