The PDM chief said the CJP had brought the Supreme Court and parliament face to face. Fazl alleged that his (CJP’s) decisions had pushed the state in a crisis-like situation. The only solution to this problem, he said, was resignation of the chief justice. So the CJP should resign without any further delay, he said.
