Strategy to challenge Gilani disqualification planned: Zardari
Visiting Gilani in Multan, Zardari was reported to be there to address the former prime minister’s concerns regarding the Ephedrine case, removal of officials appointed by him and notices issued to him in the Haj scandal case.
The president assured Gilani of his and the PPP’s support.
During the meeting, Pakistan Seraiki Party’s President Barrister Taj Muhammad Langah informed Zardari about certain legal clauses which can be used to challenge Gilani’s disqualification.
Seraiki province
On queries regarding the creation of a Seraiki province, Zardari informed the party members present at the meeting that the parliament lacks the two-third majority required for the task.
Gilani suggested the president should make Khurshid Shah the head of the commission for the Seraiki commission. He added that the PPP will work to garner the required amount of support for the creation of the province.

When ? After the general elections ?
Such news items only belittle the status of your newspaper. There is no provision under the constitution or any law that this shamed contemner can contest elections before 5 years have passed. Any editor ought to issue a show cause for creating confusion in the minds of the readers. Those who have no respect for the law should be blocked by the media.
As if all other issues including law and order, Karachi unrest, inflation, etc. have been solved. The disqualification issue is being used to get the sympathies of Seraiki folks like catching BB KAY QATIL is used for Sindhis.
One again hears of Seraiki province. There is the impression that it has been derailed.It was not well conceived. The best thing would be to divide Punjab into five divisions and gradually transfer revenue and judicial matters to these.Provincial status could be accorded many years later.
This is getting interesting....
