Former Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that he would appear in the Accountability Court in Islamabad on June 4 and also before an ATC court in Karachi in the TDAP scam case, adding he had been facing fabricated cases in the past and would face these now as well. In a statement issued here, Gilani said he was only one who had received the notices to appear in the court, adding that he was determined to defend himself as he had been doing in the past.
He said that if the competent appointing authority was to be held responsible then no one could be spared if the intentions were motivated by vendetta. He advised the Ministry of Interior and the present government to bring out all the cases against him and his sons in order to avoid the implications of double jeopardy.
He lamented that no case in this country was completed without implicated him whether it was the case of OGRA, NICL, NRO, TADP or the Haj Scam. The beneficiaries of the NRO had been exonerated but he was still facing the music. These are classic examples of miscarriage of justice. He said his sons had been implicated in false cases while his other son was kidnapped "and we know the amount of torture may family members are going through." He asked the government to avoid "crossing limits" of victimisation and unleash it to the extent they could also bear it tomorrow. They have no stomach to tolerate even the fraction of it what is going on against him, he observed.
