Bilawal thinks SC should take notice of ministers commenting on fake accounts case against Zardari

PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari remarked on Thursday that the top court should take notice of federal ministers commenting and discussing the fake accounts case against Asif Ali Zardari.

Supreme Court said that no one will leak the information of the joint investigation team, he said while speaking to media. “Contempt proceedings should be initiated against ministers involved,” he said. Bilawal accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of dictating the interior ministry. The top court should also start an investigation against the premier, he said. “Those bringing in puppet governments are destroying democratic traditions.”
