Never saw anyone telling court certain decision unacceptable: Zafarullah
Pervaiz Rashid says Imran Khan issued threats instead of presenting a legal argument before court
ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Barrister Zafarullah has on Friday said that he has never seen in his career as a lawyer any party telling the court that its decision would be unacceptable. Senator Pervaiz Rashid said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan had issued threat instead of presenting a legal case before the court, reported Dunya News.
Holding a press conference with other leaders of the party, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leaders said that Imran Khan had taken a U-turn today as usual. He said that Imran had himself demanded the formation of a commission but today when the court asked about it, he issued threat instead of presenting a legal argument.
Rashid, who had resigned as Minister for Information in October over a controversy, said that Supreme Court was a constitutional institution while Imran Khan had repeatedly disrespected the parliament as well. He further said that PTI’s case was over the day its lawyers had failed to present any evidence whatsoever of the corruption.
“Resignation? We’re not even ready to give Imran a broken button of PM’s sherwani”, said Rashid. He said that after wasting seven months of the nation, Imran Khan had fled the ground. “He is bound to fail, just like Pervez Musharraf and Benazir had failed”, he said.
Anusha Rehman said on the occasion that Imran Khan actually wanted to stage a show on the roads. “He said there’ll be truckloads of evidence. But when his lawyer came to the court, all they had were some pointless pages downloaded from the internet and some newspaper clippings”, he said.
She added that the speeches PM had made in the parliament were in simpler words and aimed for public consumption. “His legal argument has been presented in the court. What he said in the parliament was just aimed at public consumption. The detailed argument is given before the court”, she said.
