It seems the Pakistan Democratic Front (PDM) side does not consider the matter of full court hearing for the case closed. In a press conference last night the ruling coalition rejected the Supreme Court’s decision and announced the boycott of further proceedings against the Deputy Speaker.
Mazari’s counsel Irfan Qadir has publicly said he intends to file a review petition.
A consultative meeting of the ruling alliance and PDM leaders continued into the night at the Prime Minister House. Sources close to the meeting say the coalition leaders have agreed not to back down from the full court demand.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Maryam Nawaz, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, leaders of MQM, Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q), ANP, Balochistan Awami Party, BNP and other coalition parties also participated.
PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and other leaders of the party also participated in the meeting.
Sources say that the future strategy has been decided in the light of the decision of the three-member bench of the Supreme Court, and all leaders have agreed to move forward with a unified strategy.
