Summary Asma Jahangir has said MQM chief Altaf Hussain should reply contempt notice.

 

LAHORE: Talking to the media, former Supreme Court Bar Association president Asma Jahangir said that everyone should respect the courts and Altaf Hussain should submit his reply in contempt of court notice issued by the Supreme Court.

 

A three-member bench presided by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had issued a contempt of court notice under Article 204 of the Constitution and Section 3 of the Contempt of Court law.

 

Altaf Hussain, in his telephonic address, had termed the judges’ remarks “unconstitutional” and “undemocratic” and that they amounted to contempt for the mandate given by the people of Karachi and presented an “open enmity” for the metropolitan.
