ISLAMABAD: Ali Musa Gilani, son of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, said that he was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the Ephedrine quota case on merit and the apex court had not done him a “favour”.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Ali Musa said that the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), which had arrested him at the Supreme Court gate yesterday before he could submit a pre-arrest bail application, was becoming too personal against him.
“They held a press conference today and said that they did not want me to become a hero. I’m not here to become a hero. How can a government worker give such a political statement?” he said while lashing out against the anti-narcotics body.
He added that whatever happened on the Supreme Court’s premises yesterday was in contempt of the court and was also in his contempt. “I will move a privilege motion against the contempt done against me, and have submitted a contempt of court application as well.”
Ali Musa also clarified that there was no recovery on him in the case, even if all the allegations against him are proven correct. “The main beneficiaries have been spared who are moving about freely.”

ANF Clearly wanted to prevent him even from filing for the bail. They could have arrested him when he was leaving from the court, after he had made the bail application, instead of while entering the court. The intentions were clearly malicious and Ali Musa is correct, ANF is making it personal.
Recommend
How the ANF investigator who gave an affidavit on oath, could work against his own affidavit. His own freedom is in line here. If proven wrong, he himself will be accused of filing false affidavit in the SC with serious repercussions for him. He is making all efforts to save his skin.
Recommend
Musa prove that Might is right But he must remember that Allah well known his crime. He”ll not clean by press conference if he obey the court order then why he hide in PM house? His all family are corrupted including father . So, must be accountable of criminal without discrimination. Recommend
People like him need to be behind bars .Recommend
The biased Courts turn a blind eye to ANF’s such open bias yet they discredit national institutions like police, NAB and others because of a mere suspicion in case of Arsalan Iftikhar case.

Getting bail for messing with drugs is Ali Musa Gilani’s right. It is the same case which is so serious that an International commission visited Pakistan very recently to investigate the matter.
Look at the V victory sign and the smug smile.

In other words you are complimenting that the Supreme Court is observing Meritocracy! Please live up with your words in case the case goes against you.

@Zahid Hussain:
We were told to be patient when Bhutto was hung, when BB was arrested time and again for no crime, when Zardari spent ten years in jail without conviction, when Mumtaz Qadri killed Shaheed Taseer and Pakistan’s educated middle class paid Qadri a tribute with 20,000 likes on Facebook, lawyers showering rose petals, a retired Chief Justice coming to his rescue and till date courts postponing the review appeal indefinitely. The same story continues: not a single general, judge, bureaucrat or a right-winger politician has been convicted by these Courts so do not ask me to be patient when you hound those I elected for five years and when you disenfranchise my right to reject them in the next elections. Enough is enough!

let him not boost, next time SC will not give him bail.

Those who constantly abuse the Supreme Court should know that the Supreme Court is doing it’s job and trying to clean up the mess this government has created with so much corruption. Gilani was given bail because it is within the law and he should realize that the court is not favoring anyone or is against anyone. The question is why he has been accused in this drug case in the first place, let him present the evidence that he is innocent and if he is found guilty of this crime then he will not be in position to show us the V sign, the arrogance of this man is just sickening.

Did ever any PPP’s representative(s) including Yousuf Raza Gillani accept the Supreme Court’s decisions wholeheartedly in the last 4.5 years’ PPP’s regime that then you Ali Musa Gillani shall accept the court’s decisions??????
