Taking back his reference here in Islamabad, Zaman said, "I want to move the Supreme Court against the PPP president. We have come across evidence that we will only present before a top forum." On December 27, the ECP had reviewed Zaman's reference and accorded approval for an initial hearing. Zaman had moved the application on party directives after contents of the JIT report in the fake accounts case surfaced. The member Sindh Assembly had asked the Commission to disqualify and de-seat Zardari as an MNA under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution.
Earlier, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had accused the former president of concealing his foreign assets. "Zardari owns an apartment in the United States. Under Articles 62 and 63, he was bound to declare his assets which he didn't. He is not eligible to remain a member of the Parliament anymore," the Information Minister had said.
