Summary In a U-turn, government is considering writing letter to Swiss authorities, sources said.
Sources said the letter would probably be written by Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, PPP leader and renowned expert of constitutionalism.The Supreme Court has warned the government of initiating contempt proceedings against the PM and the President in case the government persisted with defiance and not implemented the NRO verdict.The SC had said that it would form a full bench by Jan 16 to decide the matter.The Swiss letter pertains to the accounts of the Bhutto family. President Zardari had said in an interview lately that his party has unanimously decided that no one would be allowed to have the trial of the grave of Benazir Bhutto, the late prime minister and chairperson of the PPP.Analysts may view the governments possible U-turn as a policy to temporarily end standoff with one organ of state -- the judiciary -- since it is also at odds with the Army on the other side.
