This is neither the policy of the party nor the government, said Farhatullah Babar.

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari’s spokesman on Monday dismissed a statement given by a Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) spokeswoman about Raymond Davis, saying that it was her personal view.

The PPP information secretary Fozia Wahab in an attempt to dilute anger over a US official accused of murdering two Pakistanis had said that diplomats have immunity and Davis had an official visa.

“This is neither the policy of the party nor the government,” Farhatullah Babar said.

He said the government and party had “made it very clear that Raymond Davis’ case is before court and the court will decide the issue”.
