Senior PPP leader and advocate Aitzaz Ahsan has said that President of Pakistan sAsif 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 then 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.

A 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 into power then they should change this law as PTI is talking about bringing change.
