Former Supreme Court Bar Association president and lawyer for former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani, Asma Jehangir has said that she did not feel the need to appear before the commission probing the “memogate” because if Supreme Court judges could not see through the grey area in the case, she doubted that high court judges in the commission could do the same.
Speaking in Geo News Capital Talk, Asma said high court judges were not supposed to investigate cases and collect evidence. Asked why had she expressed lack of trust in the commission when her client had not, she said she had been forced to think that way after seeing all nine SC judges thinking alike and putting national security over and above basic human rights. She said lawyers had not worked to restore the incumbent judiciary to see it cut the very roots of the people and deny them basic human rights in the name of national security. She said the petition would have been maintainable in the first place if the piece of paper [memo] had actually sabotaged somebody’s basic right, but it did not. She said if basic human rights were compromised in the name of national security today, then a day would come that the freedom of press, freedom of association and existence of political parties could also be sacrificed for the same cause. She said her client would have no where to go and no forum to plead his case if the high court judges made mistake in their investigation. “If courts do not follow due process than there is no difference between a panchayat and a court,” she said.
My foot…
she is over confident, nonsense, speaking for money only
no, she has taken a lot from her client. nine are thinking on one side and she alone is thinking in right direction. pesa bolta ha jee.
How it will look when by the order of Commision, Mansoor Ejaz will be provided a VVIP security by Pakistani forces. Same Mansoor Ejaz who has a record of abusing our security forces through writing several articals even on the day and after he revealed about Memo in FT news paper. It will be shamfull day when our forces will provide him a VVIP security to him. Aasa Jilani has done right to her point.
she is a culprit! sirf case ko aur ziada kharab karnay kay ilawa koi aur role nahin is ka. yay log bikay huay hain aur injaisay sab ghadaaron ko humain nikaal bahir karna chahiyay! isko sharam anee chahiyay yay defend bhee kis ko kar rahee hay jis insaan nay apnay puray tenure main drone hamlay tak na rukwayee! sirf parties attend karta raha aur mulk kay saath ghaddaree kee!
she looks like jaya bachan here
She’s a crazy woman ! Nine people can’t think the same. So the problem lies with her not them .
she wants courts to become her puppets for her self claimed role in restoration of judges movement.trying to pressurise the courts
rat deserting a sinking ship
win the elections exploiting basic human rights and escape the cases by exploiting the human rights,people are deprived of basic rights but every movement is based on basic rights just to fool the masses.
A left-over left leaning lawyer from the 60's…… wake up dear suzy!!
Moral of the story?
Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
Hell no!! National Security is top priority – aww the poor Haqqani now wants people to feel for him about human rights? What about all those CIA visas that you issued? You deserve hell and nothing less.
No…
1oo% AGREE/////////////////
What human Rights is she talking abt she kept he mouth shut when innocents were killed in drone attacks she didnt say a word took case when brothers from sialkot were brutally murdered..she only talks abt human rights when foreign agencies are keeping her pockets warm….no issue is greater than the issue of national security
she is crazy!
really she is mad, agreed wid u
She is not worth enough to talked about….
Hey Asma, where were you when Raymond Davis murdered 2 Pakistanis on a busy Lahore street? Your argument about Human Rights holds no water, get a life!
Dear Ms Jehangir, you are only loosing your credibility, if there was any….
Dear aunty Asma Jahangir.We being pakistani are very tense on this issue and u r defending that person, who is alleged of mutiny, i am surprised to listen that u r defending him whereas whole of the pakistan is ready to nab him and teach him the listen, he never faced before that……So pls take ur rest, u ve been old and get retired from advocacy, this is not the way to have the reputation but work for pakistan.
Yes, me agreed.
Asma Jehangir can go to hell along with Husain Haqqani! the whole Pakistan knows who the culprit is!
