ISLAMABAD After the governments nosedive on National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) issue, the legal and constitutional minds of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) are now busy evolving a strategy in order to manage its fallout in case the apex court undoes it ab initio, resulting in the revival of all the cases withdrawn under it. The sources in Pakistan Peoples Party informed TheNation that the cases withdrawn under the NRO could not be revived unless the apex court came up with a clear-cut judgement on it revoking the ordinance ab initio and making all legal transactions under it null and void. Now the main focus of the PPP will be on the draft bill of National Accountability Commission (NAC), which is likely to replace the incumbent National Accountability Bureau that is already made redundant by the coalition government, the sources further informed. The sources disclosed that the PPP legal minds were busy working out a pre-emptive strategy and if the cases withdrawn under NRO were revived by the apex court, the same could be brought in the purview of the proposed NAC to declare them politically motivated. The sources privy to these developments informed that the draft proposal of National Accountability Commission was almost approved by the National Assemblys Standing Committee on Law and Justice a couple of weeks back and now the members were just to sign the approved draft. But in the meantime, the NRO was tabled before the House and referred to the standing committee for review. The committee put the routine business aside to take up this matter of urgent nature as the ordinance was going to lapse on 28th of November and the committee had to clear it for tabling before the National Assembly before that date. In just a couple of meetings, the NRO was approved from the NAs Standing Committee by treasury members in total disregard to the protests and even walkout by PML(N) members at the time of voting. However, the NRO could not be tabled before the National Assembly because of strong disapproval to the ordinance not only by the opposition members but also from almost all coalition partners. The situation was not only humiliating but also alarming for PPP because a large number of PPP stalwarts including President Asif Ali Zardari are among the beneficiaries of the ordinance. The sources revealed that it was decided in a high-level meeting of PPP called in the Presidency to review the post-NRO debacle scenario that the cases withdrawn under the NRO if revived by the Supreme Court of Pakistan would be brought in the ambit of the proposed National Accountability Commission for review. The sources further informed that it was due to this consideration that changes in the almost approved draft of National Accountability Commission were introduced and the Standing Committee again started its clause-wise scanning. The sources further informed that the proposed National Accountability Commission would be empowered to review all the cases instituted by the National Accountability Bureau and sift genuine cases from the cases framed on political grounds. The sources disclosed that with these powers with the new Accountability Commission, the cases dropped under NRO, if revived, would also come in its ambit and the commission after scrutiny could once again drop these cases declaring them politically motivated.
