SHC seeks documents against Talpur in Iqama case

Faryal Talpur
The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday resumed hearing petitions against top leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for holding an Iqama (work permit) and ordered the submission of documents against Faryal Talpur in the case.

The petitions seek disqualification of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s sister Faryal, Suhail Anwar Siyal, Manzoor Wassan and other for holding work permits of foreign countries and not disclosing them in their nomination papers.

The petitioner’s counsel, Khawaja Shamsul Islam, continued his arguments before the high court bench.

“In the disqualification of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Iqama played a major role. He was not only disqualified but was also removed from the PML-N presidency,” maintained Shamsul Islam.

He insisted, “The judgment of the top court also applies on Faryal Talpur. How she made assets is an issue which should be investigated.”

“The report of the joint investigation team (JIT) in the money laundering case has proved everything,” added the petitioner’s counsel.

Islam also urged the court to disqualify Faryal for holding and hiding the work permit.

The SHC, meanwhile, told the petitioner’s counsel to submit documents in the case against Faryal.

In the absence of her counsel, Farooq H Naek, the court adjourned the hearing till February 15.

Death toll in Indonesia quake-tsunami tops 800

The death toll from a powerful earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia leapt to 832 Sunday, as stunned people on the stricken island of Sulawesi struggled to find food and water and looting spread. The new toll announced by the national disaster agency was almost double the previous figure. Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla said the final number of dead could be in the "thousands." "It feels very tense," said 35-year-old mother Risa Kusuma, comforting her feverish baby boy at an evacuation centre in the gutted coastal city of Palu. "Every minute an ambulance brings in bodies. Clean water is scarce. The minimarkets are looted everywhere." Indonesia’s Metro TV on Sunday broadcast footage from a coastal community in Donggala, close to the epicentre of the quake, where some waterfront homes appeared crushed but a resident said most people fled to higher ground after the quake struck. "When it shook really hard, we all ran up into the hills," a ...
