&#39;&#39;Sad that highest court of Pakistan persists with such antics for local TV news coverage. Such political &lsquo;warrants&rsquo; have not been honoured abroad in the past, won&rsquo;t work now,&#39;&#39; Haqqani said.&nbsp;

According to Geo News, the warrants for former Pakistan People&#39;s Party leader were issued for violating his oath in which he had pledged to come back to face the trial, reported The News International.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court had formed a three-member bench to hear the case which made headlines during the last stint of the PPP.

Haqqani was accused of seeking US &nbsp; action against Pakistan&#39;s military through the so-called memo months after the US raid in Abbottabad in 2011 on Osama Bin Laden compound amid increasing rift between civilian and military leadership.
