Gilani declared ineligible by Supreme Court of Pakistan

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has been declared ineligible by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in contempt of court case, setting aside speaker ruling of the National Assembly Speaker Fehmida Mirza.
Mr Gilani will no more be a member of parliament following the verdict. The court said the office of the prime minister fell vacant from April 26, when he was convicted by the seven member bench of apex court for not implementing court orders of writing letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Identical petitions were submitted by Imran Khan and Khwaja Muhammad Asif in the Supreme Court against the speaker ruling. A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry announced the verdict against Mr Gilani.
To many Pakistani's this will be pleased to get rid of the least capable and puppet like Prime Minister. We are also hoping that the next PM will write letter to Swiss authorities soon after joining the office.
