Pakistan top court disqualifies PM

Gilani was given a symbolic sentence in April 2012 for defying court orders to reopen money laundering cases against the president.

Despite the guilty verdict, the premier refused to resign, prompting the opposition to resort to the Supreme Court for his disqualification.

The move came after a ruling by the speaker of the National Assembly Fahmida Mirza in favor of the prime minister sparked an outrage among opposition groups.
