The Pakistani Spectator

Chaudry Shujaat Hussain, former prime minister and the president of ruling Muslim League, in a display of his version of political bravery, has said that judiciary should give the verdicts according to the law and not according to their wishes. He has also dropped a gem by saying that judiciary should also give justice to the government. In a recent interview to a private TV channel, he said that judiciary has done many things above the law, and a very alarming clash has started between judiciary and the establishment, which is very dangerous for the integrity of the country.

After an obvious decision by Supreme Court, former prime minister Mian Nawaz Sharif was once again exiled to KSA, and since then the ministers of government are continuously giving away hard statements for the judiciary, which is highly condemnable. Government ministers are saying that the extradition of Nawaz Sharif is not a contempt of court, and then an ally of government, MQM, sorrounded the Sindh high court, when the hearing of the incidents of 12th May were going on, a lawyer who was following this case was also murdered in Karachi, and the leader of MQM Altaf Hussain also adopted a very tempestuous tone against the judiciary, and now the statements of Shujaat Hussain are heralding a new danger for the judiciary.
It’s ironic that when Shujaat Hussain himself is saying that the direct clash between judiciary and establishment is dangerous for the country, then why he himself is targeting judiciary? It seems that another attack on the judiciary is in the offing.
