Pakistan court to probe president's immunity A potentially explosive row between the Pakistani government and the supreme court appears to have been temporarily defused, after the prime minister was summoned to the court to face contempt charges. The court charged the prime minister with being in contempt of court for not implementing an earlier court order to the government to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Zardari. The government contends that Zardari enjoys immunity from prosecution under Pakistan's constitution. Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab reports from Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.
Pakistan PM to comply with supreme court 'contempt notice' The Pakistani prime minister has said he will comply with a supreme court order summoning him for a hearing related to his government's failure in reopening corruption cases. After the court issued a contempt of court notice against him on Monday, Yousuf Raza Gilani said he respected the decision and would appear for the hearing on January 19. The setback delivered by the judiciary was offset somewhat by the boost Gilani received when he won a "show of confidence vote" in the National Assembly, or parliament, which passed a "resolution in favour democracy" later in the day. Speaking during the vote, Gilani ruled out resigning, saying: "The court has summoned me, and in respect I will go on January 19." Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab reports from Islamabad.
