Islamabad, Feb. 2 (TNS): After Sadiq Al Farooq, Nehal Hashmi and Tallal Chaudhry, another PML-N leader Daniyal Aziz can face the music over contempt of court.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Friday took suo motu notice of an “anti-judiciary” speech made by Daniyal Aziz.
The court, in its notice, did not specify which speech by the PML-N leader had caught the judges’ attention.
Aziz has been asked to appear before the court on February 7 to face contempt of court proceedings.
It is pertinent to mention that following last year’s Panama Papers judgement in which Nawaz Sharif was disqualified, members of the ruling party, including Aziz — on a number of occasions — have launched unprecedented verbal attacks on the country’s judiciary, accusing it of having different standards for the former prime minister than for his opponents.
