ISLAMABAD: Former Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhary on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz of leading a campaign against the judiciary.
Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Chaudhary claimed that court decisions are being routinely disrespected and obstructed.
Chaudhary stated that he had heard about Shehbaz Sharif’s intention to address the National Assembly regarding the judiciary’s conduct.
He warned that such a speech by the Prime Minister would constitute a violation of the constitution and could lead to Shehbaz Sharif’s disqualification for mocking judicial decisions.
He further alleged that PML-N members, including Maryam Nawaz and other MNAs and MPs, are actively undermining the judiciary, contributing to increased uncertainty in the country.
Chaudhary highlighted that Pakistan is currently facing political and economic crises, and now a judicial crisis has been added to the mix, with Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz at the forefront of this anti-judiciary movement.
