Issue of immunity sub judice, says Kaira


18
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party’s Information Secretary Qamar Zaman Kaira on Friday said it was inappropriate to hold debates on the issue of the immunity which had become a sub judice matter.
Speaking to a private news channel, he said the media should avoid airing speculative content about an issue that was sub judice and there should be no discussions on the subject.
The media should hold debates on this issue once it has been decided upon by the court, he added.
He said PPP leader and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s counsel Aitzaz Ahsan had clarified his stance on the issue in two different talk shows.
To a question, Kaira said Ahsan was maintaining his previous position that the president enjoyed immunity.
