Islamabad: (Monday, February 06, 2012) After being served with a suspension notification by the Supreme Court of Pakistan today, Dr. Asim Hussain and Dr. Hafeez Sheikh have been made advisors to the Prime Minster Yousuf Raza Gilani.
The decision was made a few hours after the apex court, through a notification, disqualified the federal minister for finance and petroleum respectively.
Today, after moved by a petition forwarded by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, the Supreme Court had suspended the membership of 28 legislators which also included nine members National Assembly and three Senators.
The decision on part of the apex court was taken on the grounds of these members re-election under an incomplete Election Commission which was against constitution.
All these lawmakers will remain suspended unless the passage of 20th amendment in the constitution. Earlier, the Supreme Court had given the government time to introduce the said amendment latest by February 6. But with
the government failing to do so, the court ultimately had to take the decision.
