Federal Minister for Science and Techonology Fawad Chauhdhry has said that the federal government is mulling to reopen infamous Swiss accounts case dated back to 1990s against PPP leaders including co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. “Asif Zardari was acquitted in Swiss accounts case because NAB officials at that time said that they did not have original record of the case documents which was an utter lie,” Fawad said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Thursday. The federal minister also said the government’s legal team is reviewing the record and subsequently, it will take a final decision regarding reopening the case. “Only 2 per cent people who do not want to queue up to receive the vaccine will be vaccinated by the private sector,” he added. However, the minister said the price of maximum sale price of Sputnik V Russian vaccine will be fixed after the court’s decision.
