“The Supreme Court has issued a contempt of court notice to the prime minister for not complying with its orders. He has been directed to appear personally on January 19”  Judge Nasir-ul-Mulk ordered.

The Court wants the Pakistan government to re-open the corruption case against President Asif Ali Zardari whom currently enjoying an immunity from the government. PM  Yousuf Raza Gilani refused to open the case in order to remain in the office by taking Zardari’s party (Pakistan People’s Party) support.
