Pak SC to decide Gilani fate tomorrow

Islamabad: Pakistan's embattled Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani will appear before Supreme Court tomorrow to face contempt charges that could decide his fate and plunge the country into a fresh political turmoil over his refusal to reopen graft cases against the President. Dealing a major blow to Gilani, 59, Pakistan's apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry on Friday had rejected his appeal against framing of contempt charges over his failure to act on its repeated orders to revive cases of alleged money laundering against Asif Ali Zardari in Switzerland.
