Amendment Should be Made In Constitution To Abolish President Immunity

Senior PPP leader and famous advocate Aitzaz Ahsan has said that President of Pakistan

Asif Ali Zardari has complete immunity as president. “There is no harm in writing a letter to the Swiss authorities. He enjoys immunity in Pakistan and abroad as long as he is president,” Aitzaz Ahsan added.

If this is the case than I think that amendment should be made in constitution of Pakistan. No one, not even a head of state, should be above the law. Pakistan and all Muslim nations must dump this western legal system which gives immunity to the President.

Few days ago PPP MNA Jamshed Dasti very rightly said that “History records that Caliphs appeared before courts in the Islamic era; therefore the president should not avoid appearing before the court.”

I am also sure that this government will not make any amendment in this regard. But it is hoped that if Tehreek-e-Insaf comes in power then they should change this law as PTI is talking about bringing change.
