Islamabad March 21 (TNS): Former premier Nawaz Sharif has that the Supreme Court judge’s remarks about his disqualification were a clarion call and vindication of his stance that he was ousted from the office on flimsy charges.
Talking to the media outside the trial court in Islamabad on Wednesday, he was referring to Justice Qazi Faez Isa, who, while hearing a lawmaker’s disqualification case, had observed that the former premier was harangued for London property but he was disqualified on Iqama.
Sharif said that his disqualification was now being discussed in and outside the court. He said that he fully respected the judiciary and even took part in a movement to restore suspended judges.
Nawaz added that he is someone who respects state institutions and even participated in a long march for the restoration of the judiciary. Nawaz hinted to approach the Supreme Judicial Council to take up his grievances against some judges who may have done injustice to him.
He said that he was disqualified for not drawing a salary from his son’s firm and in his opinion and in the opinion of the nation, his disqualification was uncalled for and it was based on the definition of the Black Dictionary. He said that such judgments will always be questioned and the judges should also reflect on such verdicts.
