Gilani decides to file review petition against disqualification today

MULTAN: Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has decided to file review petition against his disqualification by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Geo News reported.

Sources said that Gilani would personally appear before the apex court on Saturday to file review petition. He said that he was consulting legal experts over the issue and would challenge his conviction.

The former premier was sent packing for not complying apex court orders directing him to write a letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft case against President Asif Ali Zardari.

However, Gilani’s successor Raja Pervez Ashraf had written the same letter after the court issued him contempt notice.
