ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf will appear before the Supreme Court on Monday in the contempt of court case, decided the meeting of the coalition partners chaired by President Asif Ali Zardari.
Leaders of the Pakistan People's Party-led government's coalition partners will accompany the Prime Minister as he presents himself before the apex court.
The decision was made at the high-level meeting of the government's allies presided over by President Asif Ali Zardari here at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Sunday.
According to sources, the coalition partners during the meeting put forth advice that a clash between state institutions should be avoided at all cost.
Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and Law Minister Farooq H Naek also attended the meeting besides leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Awami National Party (ANP).
Earlier, the Prime Minister held a meeting with President Zardari to decide the strategy in connection with the former's appearance before the apex court on Monday.
The Supreme Court last month issued a contempt notice to Prime Minister Ashraf for not implementing its order of writing a letter to the Swiss authorities to reopen a money-laundering case against President Zardari.
PM Ashraf had been asked to appear in person before a five-judge bench headed by Justice Asif Khosa on August 27 to respond to the notice.
