Nawaz Sharif says SC’s verdict is a solid charge sheet against the three-member bench
LONDON/ISLAMABAD: PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif that the decision of the Supreme Court on elections in Punjab is a solid chargesheet against the three-member bench of the apex court.
A reference will be filed against the Bandial-led three-member bench, he said.
Speaking from London, Nawaz Sharif said the SC bench suspended the ECP decision to postpone the elections. It is enough chargesheet to file a reference against them.
He said Justice Ejaz ul Ahsan and Justice Umar Ata Bandial were the same judges who disqualified him for lifetime.
PML-N chief said the SC judges re-wrote the Constitution in the past and no one felt ashamed or pitiful of the devastating decisions.
“What was the hurdle in forming the full court bench,” PML-N supremo asked.
He said, “If you try to protect such ‘corrupt’ judges like Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi, then there would be no sanctity of the judiciary.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N Chief Organizer Maryam Nawaz termed the decision the ‘murder’ of justice and an attempt to impose Imran Khan.
