Central President Senator Asfandyar Wali Khan´s statement about the short order of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the NRO case.

Awami National Party has always stood for the independence of Judiciary and supremacy of the Constitution. Whenever any dictatorship has ambushed the Constitution and subjugated the judiciary, Awami National Party has been in the fore front of the struggle against such action. As we all know, ANP not only actually struggled in the movement for restoration of the Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry and the honourable judges, but 24 of its workers embraced martyrdom on 12th May 2007 in Karachi during the aforementioned movement. We can proudly claim that ANP is the only in politically party that has never been part of any military government. It is continuation of this tradition that we whole heartedly welcome the judgment of the Supreme Court regarding NRO. We hope that every one will show respect to the judgment of the apex court and would present themselves to legal accountability as it is one of the core values of democratic system. We hope that the process of accountability will not be confined to a certain period or to a certain group of people but it will be across the board accountability as this is the only way to make this process credible and acceptable. On this occasion we want to express the expectation that all persons occupying high state position and all the state institution will perform their role in the perimeters determined by the Constitution. It is pretty clear that violation of Constitutional perimeters by any player can undermine the very Constitutional system. It is our considered opinion that the country can´t afford political polarization in view of the serous internal and external challenges faced by it, so those who are consciously or unconsciously promoting political polarization are not doing any service to the country. On this occasion we call upon all the democratic political forces to unite over and above partisan politics to steer the country out of troubled waters.
