Islamabad, June 6 (TNS): SSP motorway Jamil Hashmi in premises of the Supreme Court not only insulted the judiciary but also termed the law of Pakistan as “blind law”.
The Supreme Court maintained the sentences handed out to the eight accused in a case related to the manhandling of former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
Following the sentence, SSP motorway Jamil Hashmi criticised the verdict saying “an innocent man is being punished”.
Hashmi, who was nominated as one of the accused in the case, upheld, “I have been sentenced over a fake news report.”
The SSP motorway further said, “I was not even present at the site of the incident and this proves that Pakistan’s justice system is blind.”
Hashmi served as SSP Security Islamabad till March this year and was DSP Islamabad during the ex-CJP’s manhandling incident in 2007.
The top court had given verdicts against sitting Prime Ministers but no one used such harsh words against Judiciary and constitution of Pakistan.
Journalist bodies, intellectuals and civil society members demanded the Chief Justice to take notice of contemptuous and anti-judiciary remarks made by senior police officer.
