The accountability court of Islamabad on Monday adjourned the hearing against former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gillani till March 11, in a case of an award of alleged illegal advertising contract to a private ad agency. While the ex-PM did appear before the court, the hearing’s proceedings could not take place due to the absence of AC Judge Arshad Malik. In his remarks to the media persons outside the court, the former premier welcomed the maiden visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to Pakistan. He asserted that Pakistan was enjoying a historical relationship with Saudi Arabia. Published in Daily Times, February 19th 2019.
