Pakistan Supreme court has disqualified Prime Minister Jalani as Prime Minister. Prima facie this is because of contempt of court. Real issue is that he shielded corruption of President Zardari by refusing to investigate the charges against them saying that incumbent President can not be subjected to investigation. This view was against court decision and hence amounted to contempt of court.
How far this will affect India and what are the likely consequences? Will anti corruption movement get strength from Pakistan event?
