Islamabad, Pakistan, Ramadan 20, 1433, Aug 8, 2012, SPA - Pakistan's Supreme Court says it will start contempt proceedings against the country's new prime minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, on August 27. The contempt proceedings are because Ashraf is accused of not pushing Swiss authorities to reopen a corruption investigation against President Asif Ali Zardari, according to a report of CNN. The former prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, was ousted by the Supreme Court in June for also refusing to call on Swiss authorities to reopen the old corruption case against Zardari. Ashraf was made prime minister in June. --SPA 13:07 LOCAL TIME 10:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1021151
