LAHORE: In what could spell trouble for Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, a court on Wednesday said it would hear a contempt of court petition filed against him for holding the political post of chief of the Pakistan People's Party on a day-to-day basis from December 5.
A five-judge bench of the Lahore HC headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial made the observation when it resumed hearing Munir Ahmad's petition against Zardari for holding a political office despite HC's suggestion last year that he give up the post of PPP chief. A K Dogar, the counsel for Ahmad, argued that Zardari was also violating a order issued by the SC that said the President should be non-partisan and have no political affiliations.
