Islamabad, Thursday, February 9, 2012: Pakistan’s Supreme Court today insisted that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani should write to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari, saying no one is above the law.

Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry said the proceedings against the Prime Minister would end if he wrote a letter to the Swiss authorities to reopen cases of alleged money laundering against Zardari.

Chaudhry made the remarks while hearing Gilani‘s appeal against an order summoning him on 13 February for the framing of charges in a contempt of court case for refusing to revive the cases against Zardari.

The person involved in these cases is the head of the Prime Minister’s party but no one is above the law, he said.
