NRO case: PM Gilani will appear before SC on Jan 19 |
Asif Zardari took over his wife's party after her assassination and nominated Yusuf Gilani as prime minister. In appreciation Gilani swept under the rug ongoing corruption probes against Zardari. So far that gentleman's wink-wink agreement worked. But now the Pakistani Supreme Court has decided that Gilani's obligation as prime minister is to serve the nation - not his allegedly corrupt mentor -Mr. Zardari- also known as Mr. 10% (The pay-off percentage bribes he was accused of collecting from business doing projects with the state when his wife Benazir Bhutto was prime minister, plus the financial probe by Switzerland )
Mr. Gilani had stopped all legal procedures against Zardari, but now the Supreme Court might order his own prosecution for protecting Zardari against the Supreme Court's orders. And it seems to be the end of the line for both Mr. Gilani and Mr. Zardari. Now Mr. Gilani would have to decide whether he would serve the nation, or he would stick with his stubbornness to serve and protect Zardari, and go down with him. Nikos Retsos, retired professor
