Sheikh Rashid slams Maryam for targeting SC judges
RAWALPINDI (MNP) – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad on Friday lambasted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz for unleashing scathing attack against judges of the Supreme Court.
In a series of tweets, the former interior minister said the nine-judge bench of the apex court – which is hearing a case of suo motu notice over delay in elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – was not part of any political party, adding that it was hearing the case to defend Constitution and law.
He said Maryam Nawaz’s move of “bad judges and good judges” had rung a danger bell. “Criticising judges and dropping hints of defying the verdicts signalled a serious danger,” he warned.
