ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan would be representing Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in the contempt of court notice against him, DawnNews reported.
The prime minister was served a show-cause notice for contempt of court on Monday.
Ahsan met with the prime minister who later approved the barrister to represent him in the apex court.
Earlier on Monday, a seven-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Nasir-ul-Mulk issued the order against the premier once it was evident that the government had no response to the six options laid down at the last hearing on the implementation of the NRO judgment.
The prime minister has been directed to personally appear before the court on January 19 for his refusal to write a letter to Swiss authorities for reopening cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
