Have court in order or give up, Bilawal tells CJP
Pakistan
Bilawal urged the CJP and the Supreme Court to take immediate action to restore the court’s dignity
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari on Friday asked Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial to “get his court in order” or step down and give the post to someone else.
Bilawal Bhutto urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) and the Supreme Court to take immediate action to restore court’s dignity by undoing this unconstitutional bench fixing.
In his message on Twitter, Bilawal Bhutto said: "With Justice Minallah’s note we now have 4 justices on record. It is clear the CJs opinion is the minority judgement. The CJP & SC must act immediately to undo this unconstitutional bench fixing. This is only way the dignity of the Supreme Court can be restored."
In another tweet, Bilawal Bhutto said: "The 3 member decision is not worth the paper it is written on. If the CJP cannot get his court in order and remedy this mockery of justice, then perhaps he should allow someone else to take the responsibility of CJP."
