Furthermore, while talking to reporters, after the top court adjourned proceedings Khawaja Asif said: “Now the judiciary has taken up the matter, there is no logic in agitation on streets.”

“Both the accused and accuser are standing before the court so I think the nation should be given relief from the agony of this protest,” he said.

He added that the government has “complete faith in the judiciary”.

“Within two hours, we will submit our reply in court after consulting with our leadership,” Asif added.
