Former interior minister Rehman Malik on Thursday demanded that Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry take a suo motto notice of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) political advertisement where the chief justice was shown alongside party chief Nawaz Sharif.
Addressing a press conference‚ Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Rehman Malik said that the chief justice was restored under the sole authority of President Asif Ali Zardari but the contents of the advertisement gave credit to PML-N chief for arranging a public rally for his restoration.
Malik said that it was a gross violation of the election campaign rules and it was made to gain political mileage. He further said the advertisement gave the impression that that judiciary was supporting PML-N.
