Will ask judiciary to find a third way out, government will complete tenure: Wassan

Former Sindh home minister Manzoor Wassan said that the government will ask the Supreme Court to find a third way out in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) implementation case as it wants to complete its five-year tenure.

Wassan also denied media reports which quoted him as saying that the government will write a letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari. “I did not say any such thing. We want to find a middle way out as we want to complete our five years which will end on February 18,” he maintained.

He said that the middle way will be found after the hearing which will be held after the September 18 hearing.

The former minister also mentioned his opinion that the government should hold the general elections on April 4, 2013 as it is also the death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Express News also quoted Wassan as saying that the government will inform the court that only four months are left till the elections and senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faisal Raza Abidi should be summoned to the court instead of the prime minister.

@Waqar Ahmed: election exercise is the job of Election commissioner and he only will decide when to conduct election and not the political parties.

These people are just interested in completing their term but never interested in resolving the peoples problems.
