Pakistan, June 27 -- Hearing Park Lane reference against Asif Ali Zardari on Friday, the accountability court decided to indict the former president via video link on July 6, as he didn't appear for the hearing.

The PPP supremo was summoned by the court to appear for his indictment. However, Zardari's lawyer Farooq H Naek told the court that it is difficult for his client to travel because of coronavirus outbreak. He reminded the court that former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani appeared before a court recently and contracted Covid-19. To which, Judge Azam Khan of the accountability responded, "You are also attending the session. Do you not value your life? If you are presenting yourself, then you can also call Asif Ali Zardari."
