Early elections expected in Pakistan

The Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani has recently indicated that the upcoming general elections in Pakistan may take place earlier, that is, before the completion of the term of the democratically elected government of Pakistan that is ruled
by the Pakistan People’s Party.

Yousuf Raza Gilani expressed himself on the matter in the following words: "With the passage of the fifth budget, the election year starts and we are of the view that early elections are likely after the budget. In politics, no walls are built but bridges
are made. We want free, fair and transparent elections and a smooth transition will set a tradition for future."

There has been turmoil in the political scenario of the country in which the civilians government, military as well as the Supreme Court of Pakistan has been involved. The Prime Minister of Pakistan is currently under the threat of being imprisoned as he
did not obey direct orders from the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan had been repeatedly asking the Prime Minister of the country Yousuf Raza Gilani to re start an investigation in which the President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has been named for money laundering. The Supreme Court of Pakistan
had been asking the government to write to the Swiss probe in order to re start the inve4stigation but he order of the Supreme Court had not been complied with.

The President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari was exempted when the National Reconciliation Ordinance was signed by Bhutto during the time that the President of Pakistan was Gen. (retd) Pervez Musharraf as the investigation by the Swiss probe was put to a halt.
However, the apex court of the country had deemed the NRO as illegal which in effect asked for the re starting of the investigation against Asif Ali Zardari.

The President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari is line to appear in front of the parliament of the country in order to address the body by making a speech. This has been revealed by Yousuf Raza Gilani, however, the date and time of the speech remain undisclosed.
