Pakistan needs ‘honest judges and not those facilitating Imran Khan’
PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz has launched another scathing tirade against “some judges” of the superior courts, saying the country needs “honest judges and not those facilitating former prime minister Imran Khan”.
Addressing a party workers convention in Rawalpindi on Sunday, Maryam referred to the latest audio leaks allegedly featuring former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi, PTI leader Yasmin Rashid, and others, saying the judiciary needs to hold “some people” accountable. “This country needs ‘imaan-dar’ (honest), not ‘Imran-dar’ (pro-Imran) judges,” she added.
She went to demand the apex court judge who was allegedly named in the audio leak to step down on moral grounds and “wash off the stain from judiciary”.
“The judiciary needs to hold such elements accountable. I am not speaking about entire judiciary as our judiciary has many judges who are honest and upright,” she clarified. “I am speaking about those [judges] who are followers of [General retired] Faiz Hameed and are still working at his whims.”
