Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Monday urged all concerned, including the cabinet ministers, to show utmost regard and dignity towards the judiciary while discussing court cases especially during television talk shows. The prime minister made these observations while informally talking to ministers at the Prime Minister’s House after his appearance at the Supreme Court in the morning.
The five-member Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, while praising the prime minister for showing respect to the court, drew his attention to the remarks by certain cabinet members and party workers, who used undignified language while talking about the judiciary. Ashraf said every effort should be made to ensure that the elements, who were trying to create misunderstanding among the institutions, were discouraged.
