Express September 18, 2010

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has directed the Establishment Division to prepare the list of beneficiaries of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).

According to sources, the Establishment Division has also been directed to list the beneficiaries occupying senior positions in the government.

The prime minister has ordered that the report in this connection be submitted to him in 48 hours.

A 17-member larger bench of the Supreme Court had unanimously struck down the NRO on December 16 2009.

However, the Supreme Court has been dissatisfied with the government's inaction to implement the NRO verdict.

Ahmer Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Assalam-o-Allaikum Warahmatullah.Apparently this step taken by PM Gillani seems the best but the question is President Zardari is on the top of the list of NRO beneficiaries and either will any action be taken against him or not or President Zardari shall be exempted from any legal actions by using Article 248 and after getting the list either PM Gillani will take any strong and strict legal action against them including President Zardari or not on this step is being taken just to deceive the nation?If PM Gillani is so sincere and honest for the Pakistan and for the whole nation then he must take legal action against all the NRO beneficiaries including President Zardari to remove the corrupt people from the beloved country Pakistan and if PM Gillani is just deceiving the nation then don't do such these types of funny jokes with the nation.
