Islamabad, August 29 (TNS): Former President Asif Ali Zardari’s affidavit which was submitted by him in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case before the Supreme Court has been termed as suspicious by the apex court on Wednesday.
The Top court remarked during the hearing, “The affidavit says that Zardari has no property or bank accounts abroad till date which has made the statement doubtful.
“The court wants details of assets of the last 10 years. He should also submit asset details of Benazir Bhutto. The details should be after the year 2007”, remarked Justice Umer Ata Bandial.
Justicer Umer Ata Bandial maintained that many ways have been invented to conceal assets.
In reply Farooq H. Naik who has been Zardari’s counsel in the case said that his client has been acquitted of all such charges.”
Chief Justice remarked that the court only requires the details of assets and do not want to re-initiate any case against Zardari. “We want to grant your client transparency certificate as a national leader,” he added
