"This decision gives me a comfort level - the only issue is if it is enforceable."
"What decision? To hold yet another energy conference? I am afraid no one, not even die-hard Zardi's are holding their breath about the outcome."
"Ahmed Mukhtar has asked for three months but interestingly he admitted that Punjab's arrears are only 15.6 billion rupees while that of Sindh are 51 billion rupees while loadshedding is heavier in Punjab."

"No, and if the court rules against him, the President will exercise his authority to pardon."
