LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Monday rebuked the counsel for the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for attacking government installations on May 9 and did not spare any public and private property and now after destroying the country, they were seeking relief from the courts.
The Rawalpindi bench of the LHC was hearing miscellaneous petitions against the detention of PTI workers. Advocate Shaukat Rauf Siddiqui appeared in court on behalf of the PTI workers. The court expressed annoyance over the lawyer’s objections raised in court.
“I am also receiving threats. I go to the court alone. I don’t even keep a gunman,” Justice Aziz said, adding he made decisions according to the law, and does not want to get involved in a political discussion here.
“How can the court provide relief to someone nominated in a case of vandalism and arson?” Justice Aziz noted.
He further commented that the PTI workers attacked government installations and did not spare any public and private property.
“After destroying the country, they are now objecting to the courts, which provided them relief,” the judge remarked.
Advocate Siddiqui said the court was neither giving relief to their workers, nor listening to them.
The judge added that the court was releasing the prisoners without even listening to arguments. Justice Aziz became furious over the PTI lawyer’s continuous interference.
