Tribune Take: Aitzaz's appointment may defuse PPP, SC tensions
The new representation will help defuse tensions between the federal government and the Supreme Court.
In today’s episode of the Tribune Take, we take a look at Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani approved Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan as his lawyer in a contempt of court notice issued against him.
Gulraiz Khan, Senior Sub-editor at The Express Tribune, says the move will help defuse tensions between the federal government and the Supreme Court.
He says representation by Babar Awan led to frequent stand-offs between the two institutions. But for those who are expecting fireworks thinking that Ahsan has to appear before Chief Justice Iftekhar Chaudry, will be disappointed because the seven member bench does not include him.
