The federal government intends to formally join the review proceedings initiated by the Sindh government against the Supreme Court's acquittal of the accused in the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl.
A spokesman of the Attorney General of Pakistan on Saturday announced that the federal government will also be filing an appropriate application before the Supreme Court to be allowed to join as a party in the proceedings and further seek review and recall of the apex court's Jan 28 judgement.
