PML-N president Mian Nawaz Sharif has said that judiciary will not be allowed to be knelt down and a resolution is being tabled by his party to express solidarity with the judiciary.
“We will not allow the judiciary to be knelt down. Attempts are being made by the rulers to cover up their corruption and cow down the judiciary by making the parliament shield. The treasure benches should think not to become tool against the judiciary. Allied parties also should think whether they are proving helpful in government’s bids to cover up its corruption. Parliament should give its decision as per dictates of its conscience and side with judiciary for the cause of its independence. We are bringing resolution for the independence of judiciary ”, he said this while addressing parliamentary party meeting here in parliament house Monday.
Rulers had never accepted independent judiciary, he said adding government wanted PCO judiciary so that corruption should remain covered up. Government reinstates every officer who is suspended by the court, he held. Corrupt officers are being inducted on top slots through the method of pick and choose, he alleged.
Responding to a question he said every step to be taken for destruction of Pakistan would be foiled and we would ensure rule of law.
When election time comes political isolation will come to end, Mian Nawaz Sharif maintained.
Pervez Musharraf and the incumbent rulers are equally l responsible in brining the country to this critical juncture, he charged.
Economy was in shambles and government was obtaining loans from state bank, he said. Investment opportunities were dwindling, he alleged Corruption of billion of rupees was going on unchecked. Inflation is on rise which is escalating price hike, he added.
On the issue of Sohail Ahmad, bureaucracy had demonstrated protest by wearing black strips. How this situation has been created and who is responsible for it, he questioned.
‘We had extended hand of cooperation to the government to address the problems facing the people, he held. We joined hands with the government for poverty alleviation and elimination of unemployment. We wanted trial of Pervez Musharraf. We wanted charter of democracy is implemented in true letter and spirit”, he said.
Pervez Musharraf was presented guard of honour rather than being subjected to trial, he charged.
Had charter of democracy been enforced, its benefit would have gone to PPP, he said.

  1. It is a shame. Nawaz Sharif is talking about Judiciary. He is the one who attacked SC, bought brother Judges of Syed Sajjad Ali Shah and unconstitutionally removed him. His respect for judiciary can also be judged from the historical fact that he was convicted by a Court and still managed to run away from the country without seeking Court acquittal. He was the one who elevated one of the most politicised judges of our history : Khawaja Sharif.
