NRO: Zardari case

Published September 30, 2018

SINCE the NRO was agreed upon between Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf and Benazir Bhutto directly, it is logical that all details about their assets be known to have a fair idea of the individuals involved in it.

The court has also asked about the properties in the name of Asif Zardari’s children — Bilawal, Bhakhtawar and Aseefa. How can such details asked by the apex court constituted disrespect to Benazir, who was a political leader and not a saint.

This is actually a lame excuse because Zardari does not want to reveal the wealth left by his wife.
