Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa said on Monday that books can be written over what happened to journalists in Pakistan.
He gave these remarks during the hearing of a case related to the FIA notices issued to journalists.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, conducted the hearing.
At the outset of the hearing, attorney general Mansoor Usman Awan and Press Association of the Supreme Court’s counsel Barrister Salahuddin came to the rostrum.
In his remarks, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa said two-member bench took notice in 2021 and then the case was referred to a five-member bench but still it is inconclusive.
In his conversation with Advocate Haider Waheed, the CJP remarked that we’ll not allow anyone to use this court.
“You are talking about media regulation. Do you have the case of press freedom or any other agenda,” the chief justice questioned. “When the FIR was launched against journalist Imran Shafqat,” CJP asked.
The attorney general replied that the FIR against Imran Shafqat was registered in the government of PTI. He did vlogs against the state institutions.
