Zardari in, Gilani out of NRO beneficiaries list | The list of political leaders and other prominent personalities who benefited from the controversial
National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) has been made public. While the list includes
the names of President Asif Ali Zardari and 36 other politicians, including Muttahida
Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain , Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and
his wife are not on the beneficiaries list. The list also names several bureaucrats,
including Pakistan ’s Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani and Secretary General
to the President Salman Farooqi . While releasing the list of 248 beneficiaries,
Minister of State for Law Afzal Sindhu said the fate of those benefiting from
this dubious ordinance would be decided by the Supreme Court, The Daily Times
reports. Meanwhile, Haqqani has denied being an NRO beneficiary. According to
a private television channel, Haqqani said he is ready to appear before a court
of law to support his cause. “The National Accountability Bureau ( NAB ) has not
filed any case against me. However, I am ready to appear in court if there is
any case against me,” Haqqani was quoted, as saying. Haqqani said he would sue
people who have included his name in the NRO list. Pakistan ’s High Commisioner
to Britain Wajid Shamsul Hassan, has also rejected being an NRO beneficiary. |
