PM contempt case: Aitzaz concludes arguments on Article 10A

A seven member bench of the apex court is hearing the contempt of court case. During proceedings Ahsan argued that the contempt of court law was invalid under Article 10A.

Justice Gulzar remarked that the record of the parliamentary committee could tell about what was the objective of Article 10-A.
