Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz on Monday criticised the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, accusing him of facilitating former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
\nPakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) staged a protest outside the Supreme Court for granting multiple bails to Imran Khan in multiple cases.
\nThe leaders from different parties part of the coalition addressed the protesters.
\nIn her turn, aiming guns at the CJP Bandial, Maryam Nawaz said that the SC labelled a former prime minister \u2018Sicilian Mafia\u2019 but it was rather pleased to meet another ex-PM who embezzled billions of rupees.
\nTerming the Parliament as \u2018the mother of all institutions\u2019, she said that the top court decided to contest against it by taking notice of a law which was yet to be enacted.
\nMaryam Nawaz said that the \u2018doctrine of necessity\u2019 was responsible for bringing down the country as the elected prime ministers were sent home by the SC.
\nShe said that the Constitution was abrogated by military dictators but the top court never sent anyone of them home but instead endorsed illegitimate rules.
\nPML-N leader said that judicial martial law has been imposed in the country.
\nShe asked if any doctrine of necessity was used for the betterment of the country or for its people.
\nCriticising CJP, she said that the top jurist cites the example of Justice Robert Cornelius – the fourth chief justice of Pakistan – but follows the footsteps of Justice Munir – the second chief justice of Pakistan.
\nThe PML-N leader accused the people sitting inside the SC of having ill-intentions.
\nShe asserted that the crises brewing in the country primarily stem from the top court rather than Zaman Park.
\nShe also accused CJP Bandial of rewriting the Constitution by claiming that Article 63-A was misinterpreted and the Punjab government was \u2018served\u2019 to Imran Khan on a plate despite knowing that the assembly would be dissolved.
\nShe labelled CJP Bandial as the \u2018biggest culprit\u2019 of the assembly dissolution in Punjab.
\nContinuing her diatribe, the PML-N leader said that the top jurist abused his power and refused to accept the decision of 4-3 in the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa election case.
\nThis severe defiance of the Constitution led the fellow judges to write that the CJP abused his power, she claimed.
\nMaryam Nawaz said that there is an atmosphere of \u2018judicial uprising\u2019 within the top court, and even the fellow judges are not ready to accept decisions of the CJP.
\nThe PML-N leader also lambasted ex-CJP Asif Saeed Khosa, saying that he facilitated Imran Khan after the PTI\u2019s 2014 sit-in and ousted then-PM Nawaz Sharif.
\nThe PTI protesters\u2019 attack on public properties as well as military establishments on May 9, following Imran Khan\u2019s arrest, was also condemned by the PML-N leader.
\nShe stated that the PTI was the only one, apart from the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), that carried out an attack on the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the Pakistan Army.
\nShe also accused ex-PM Imran Khan of fostering terrorists at Zaman Park for anarchy on May 9, noting that many of them were acquitted during his rule.
\nLabelling CJP Bandial as \u2018Imrandar\u2019, Maryam Nawaz demanded the resignation from the chief justice, claiming that free and fair elections in the country are not possible with him at the helm of the top court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
