A accountability court of Islamabad on Monday prosecuted previous president Asif Ali Zardari and other Park Lane case associates in the nonattendance with his counsel after the ex-president argued not liable and asserted that he was being deceived and pressurized for being the draftsman of the eighteenth Constitution Amendment. 

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) strongly responded to the surrounding of charges against Mr Zardari without his attorney, Farooq H. Naek. 

The previous president said the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had initiated politically propelled bodies of evidence against him. Previously, as well, they had involved him in bogus cases and confined him for more than 11 years without conviction, yet later looked for pardoning, he said. 

Mr Zardari then mentioned the judge to analyze his case absolutely on merit.

Mr Zardari later demanded that the judge notice in the request sheet that his attorney was not in the courtroom when he was arraigned for the situation. 

The court at that point guided the arraignment to create proof on September 1 to demonstrate the claims leveled against the suspects. 

As indicated by the charge-sheet, Mr Zardari has been blamed for being required “in expanding credit and its misappropriation by M/s Parthenon Private Limited, M/s Park Lane Estate Private Limited and others”. The charge-sheet likewise blamed him for utilizing his impact as leader of Pakistan to make sure about a Rs1.5 billion credit for M/s Parthenon that as indicated by the arraignment was the intermediary of M/s Park Lane. The sum was saved in counterfeit records for tax evasion, the indictment said. 

While PPP Senator Sherry Rehman scrutinized the confining of charges against the previous head of state without his legal counselor and said it was commensurate to stomping on of central rights, the gathering’s secretary general Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari called attention to that the Human Rights Watch (HRW) and other universal associations had just questioned NAB’s job in political designing. In any case, he communicated the expectation that Mr Zardari would demonstrate his blamelessness as he did before. 

Legitimate specialists are of the supposition that the nearness of counsel at the hour of indictment isn’t a prerequisite of the criminal strategy code, however the judge for reasonable trial ought to guarantee that the barrier counsel is available.
