Opposition parties belonging to All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) has demanded that a commission comprising the senior judges should be formed to examine the cases against the politicians who had allegedly plundered the national wealth.
They also rejected the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) which was issued when the National Assembly was in session to benefit Benazir Bhutto and his spouse.
Rao Zafar Iqbal provincial Naib Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami, Mufti Hidayatullah Pasroori Provincial Chief of Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan , Alhaj Muhammad Ashraf Qureshi senior vice president of PML-F Muhammad Younas Ghazi of Tehrik-i-Insaf said that Asif Ali Zardari, his brother-in-law, a former FIA DG, a Sindh law minister, the current Assembly speaker and a former chief minister are some of the likely beneficiaries of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
They said that Benazir Bhutto had reached a deal with the government at the cost of national interest. Pakistan People's Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto herself has been facing a number of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) cases, one of which is popularly known as the "ARY Gold Reference".
Another case against Bhutto is commonly known as the "Assets Case". According to the prosecution, she filed a mis-declaration of assets before the Election Commission for the 1985 general elections and failed to submit complete details of the assets she owned.
She also faces charges for the alleged commission of an SGS Cotecna through offshore companies. In this case, the Swiss government has decided to continue prosecuting the case despite the government of Pakistan's withdrawal, they added.
They said that Asif Ali Zardari was involved in four cases in Sindh included artefacts-smuggling case commonly known as the "Container Case", the murder cases of Mir Murtaza Bhutto and seven other workers and supporters of PPP-Shaheed Bhutto group, the double-murder case of Justice Nizam Ahmed and his son Nadeem Ahmed and the murder case of Alam Baloch, the former food secretary. Bhutto's father-in-law, Hakim Ali Zardari, faces at least two cases before Karachi's Accountability Court.
Other PPP leaders have been facing corruption cased or misuse of authority include former Sindh Law Minister Pir Mazharul Haq and former federal minister Syed Khursheed Shah.
