Pakistan’s parliament, summoned by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani as he seeks support amid a power struggle with the military, will limit today’s special session to offering prayers for a lawmaker who died this week, according to its website.
The ruling coalition convened the emergency sitting of the National Assembly after the Supreme Court warned Jan. 10 that it may charge Gilani with contempt for his government’s failure to pursue corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari and other officials.
