Court cannot call President: Fauzia Wahab

[Pak123]

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Central Information Secretary Fauzia Wahab ‘revealed’ that there was no constitution in the era ruled by Hazrat Omar (R.A), as there was only Holy Quran.

Talking to a private TV channel in a program convened on the immunity enjoyed by President Asif Ali Zardari, she added that the then court subpoenaed Hazrat Omar for having no constitution; but, today’s judiciary could not call President Asif Ali Zardari thanks to the presence of the Constitution now.

She said that President Asif Zardari had the immunity in accordance with the International Convention and no case could be reopened against him.

The Central Information Secretary said that the ministers of PPP in the meeting showed their solidarity with President Asif Ali Zardari.

The other participants including Ansar Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal lambasted the statement by Wahab and held it in conflict with the Islamic teaching.

Ansar Abbasi said the PPP leader hurt the sentiments of the Muslim, adding the Supreme Court (SC) annulled the immunity wielded by Former President Gen (rtd) Pervez Musharraf under Article-248 of the Constitution in its verdict regarding the reinstatement of Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry on July 20, 2007 and in a detailed verdict in December 2009.

During hearing of this case, former president of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Aitezaz Ahsan said if Hazrat Omar could be called and Hamid Khan reinforced by saying he could appear 11 times before court, how come Musharraf could have this indemnity.

Responding this point, Fauzia said, ‘There was no Constitution in his (Omar’s) time. Only, there was the Holy Quran,’ addressing the participants to accordingly refrain from citing his (Omar’s) incident as an example in this era.

Wahab added, ‘President Zardari is not an ordinary citizen, as immunities are given to him. If he is not accorded the immunities, he cannot function.’

Ahsan Iqbal said Hazrat Omar made appearance before court, the very fact told that there was Islamic jurisprudence then, as it existed in every era, adding that even today, Britain has no written constitution; they have a Jurisprudence and conduct themselves in accordance with it.

You're reacting as if you didn't know the law and the constitution when you voted for Zardari. You made a wrong vote, now you should be punished for it. Zardari is your punishment.

 

[Awesome]

Btw, this immunity is granted in every nation's law and she said right, that this is needed for the smooth functioning of the Presidency.

However the difference is in other countries their nation doesn't elect such people on a regular basis.

Yes I know that the immunity is granted all over the world but aren't we talking about Pakistan ????
Sir as quoted by lawyers and formers judges like Justice Wajih Uddin that our article 248 contradicts with the teachings of Islam and it has to be ammended !

Quran is word of Allah and our holy book, unrivalled in the world. But it is not constitution of Pakistan.

There is a written constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Your denying it doesn’t make an iota of difference. The State of Pakistan and all of her institutions are bound by it. In my opinion it is the National Assembly who makes the laws. Courts including the Supreme Court can only interpret it and declare it void if it was found to be unconstitutional. In such a case National Assembly has the authority to amend the Constitution accordingly and thus override the Supreme Court.

Sorry to disagree with you. You are making a much generalized statement. By the way whose interpretation of Quran would you follow? Your own or as interpreted by different schools of thought? Such statements are very dangerous and normally used to justify unjustifiable actions by the vested interests and by the bigots such as Taliban to justify their barbarism.

Zaki bhai we are not angry of her saying that President enjoys immunity but we are angry when she said that there was no constitution or law at the time of Hazrat Umar (RA) and there was only Quran but being a muslim we all know that Quran is the only constitution for muslims and Hazrat Umar (RA) was the prime example for implementing the best governance of all times !
