LAHORE: Former President of Supreme Court Bar Association and PPP
leader Barrister Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan has said that the President
enjoys complete immunity in criminal cases and he does not need to
approach the court in this regard.
Talking to media at Lahore
High Court on Monday, he said that the president enjoyed immunity due to
his office and it would be available till he was in office. He said
that Article 248 of the Constitution could be objectionable, however,
the parliament had the authority to change it through constitutional
amendment. Sharply reacting on Justice ® Khalil-ur-Rehman Ramday’s
interview on a private TV Channel, Aitzaz said that he should not give
such an interview. “Justice Ramday started politics before completion of
his two years period after retirement,” he added.
Aitzaz said
that he could tell it also that buildings of Lahore speak volume of
Ramday’s one-sided actions. He said that it was everybody’s
constitutional right to hire a counsel of his choice. Online
