#MaryamNawaz lays #blame for current #turmoil at #SupremeCourt
#ISLAMABAD (MNP) – #PML-N chief #organiser #MaryamNawaz said on Monday the crisis the #country had been going through in recent times brewed less from #PTI chief #ImranKhan ‘s residence in#ZamanPark and more from #ChiefJusticeofPakistan (#CJP) Uamr Ata Bandial’s chair.
Addressing the #PDM ‘s sit-in outside the Supreme Court (SC), she said it all started when an irrelative suo-motu notice was taken, constitution was rewritten and [Article] 63-A was misinterpreted. “The building [of the SC] was meant to strengthen the democracy and bring “terrorists” to accountability”, she added.
“It indicted former PM Nawaz Sharif but when a culprit of Rs60 billion [Imran Khan] appeared, he was welcomed,” she decried.
Did they [SC judges] ever send any dictator home, she asked. “Now when the military is not willing to impose martial law, standing beside the constitution and democracy, this building is imposing judicial martial law,” he added.
Earleir, PDM leaders Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Maryam Nawaz arrived at the PDM protest outside the Supreme Court building.
They were accompanied by Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Aftab Sherpao and Awais Noorani.
Earlier, a large number of JUI-F activists and supporters entered the Red Zone after scaling a gate and overcoming other obstructions, prompting police and FC personnel to step aside.
The activists, armed with clubs, appeared in large numbers and entered the prohibited area after breaking open the gate the administration had locked to prevent their entry. The situation emerged after talks between Maulana Fazl and the PML-N leaders failed on the venue for the protest.
