Summary

A Presidents spokesman Tuesday rejected reports of 1.5 billion dollars of national and foreign assets allegedly belonging to President Asif Ali Zardari saying these are no more than regurgitation of a decade old unproven politically motivated allegations. Commenting on reports in a section of the media, Spokesperson to the President said none of the charges leveled against Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari could be proved in any court of law despite spending hundreds of millions from public exchequer and relentless witch-hunting spread over countries and continents. He said that the absurdity and politically motivated nature of these cases was more than exposed when the tapes of conversation between the prosecutors and the trial judge surfaced in 2001 and the conviction awarded by the trial court was set aside on appeal.The appeal court had then also passed strictures against the bias of the trial judge forcing the trial judges to resign from the bench, he said.The regurgitation of these allegations at this time is part of the ongoing media trial of the PPP leadership, the spokesman said.
