Islamabad: In the Senate meeting, the members raised objections against the judiciary and judges and accused them of selective justice and discrimination in contempt of court.
Acting Chairman Syedal Khan presided over the Senate meeting, but later Senator Sherry Rehman conducted the proceedings of the House.
MQM Senator Faisal Sabzwari expressed his opinion and said that Faisal Vawda raised an important point yesterday, it seems that everyone has respect except the parliamentarians who get millions of votes. He also talks about the honors of Parliament.
People sitting in institutions do not have the right to throw our respects
He said that even the people sitting in the institutions have no right to insult our honors, parliament is not a supreme institution, your honors are our honors, if there is selective justice on your behalf, people will raise their voice.
He said, is it an insult? There should be clarification on who it may be, there is also discrimination in contempt of court, Salim Kausar said many decades ago, you have the courage to speak the truth, this is also contempt of court, I want to make it clear in this House. A representative is the proxy of his people.
Faisal Sabzwari said that a Chief Justice Utate Hain One Constitution Avenue had become a third party interest, a Chief Justice said demolish Nasla Tower because it had become the property of poor people, a three member bench gave right to Pervez Musharraf. That they should rewrite the constitution, do we have the freedom as a chief justice said that if a judge unconsciously gives a wrong decision, then correct it later.
He stressed that the missing persons should be recovered, this is the problem of the whole country, thirty of our workers also returned after four years of disappearance, no one is ready to take notice of it, no one is ready to talk about them.
Parliament should not be made a personal agenda
Senator Mohsin Aziz of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) expressed his opinion and said that when our party was not allowed to hoist the flag, no one raised his voice. If the bill to delay the election was passed in the presence of the people, was it the honor of the Parliament? A Chief Justice said that if an election was held, it was not implemented, what force would a judge have to enforce his decision, it is very important to protect the respect of the Parliament regarding the Constitution, it has a personal agenda. Let’s face it, we get confused when it comes to personal agendas.
He said that the notice of contempt of court has been given by Qazi Faiz Isa, why is his name being hidden? When it comes to individuals, we should support this judge. If a judge opened the court on Saturday and asked for Nawaz Sharif’s health guarantee, why didn’t we speak at that time, there is a law of insult, so we should sit on it. Legislation should be made, not sitting here and talking about personal agenda.
The law of contempt of court has been abolished in the civilized world
Speaking in the House, Senator Talal Chaudhry of the PML-N said that the law of contempt of court has been abolished in the whole civilized world. Punishing the violators will increase the prestige of the judiciary, when was there no contempt of parliament, the prime minister was hanged, a princess cannot be fired as quickly as a prime minister is fired for life.
Talal Chaudhry said that the court should raise its prestige by its decisions, the courts should improve their prestige by their performance, if you use the words of Sicilian mafia, guard father and proxy, then who will bear it? My conscience will kill me, if I speak, I will be killed in court.
Some judges are still on target
Senator Kamran Murtaza of JUI said that it is getting the impression that the purpose of calling this meeting is the same, a Supreme Court and some High Court judges are still on target, perhaps the reason is that no decision or remarks come. It seems that a proxy has started against some judges and we are also going along with it, making it feel that this institution is superior to any other institution. Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Babar Sattar and Athar Aman Lilla were targeted. Bringing up the issue of missing persons, none of us dared to raise the issue of missing persons, the issue of Babar Sattar too, you know what is going on, don’t treat the judges like this, athar minallah. We also know what is your sin.
What is happening is not going well
He said that if Talal Chaudhry was being abused yesterday, then it should not be done like this. There are bigger issues that should be discussed in this country, what is happening is not going well.
Parliament is being used
Senator Amil Wali Khan also said that it seems that this meeting has been called for the purpose of making the judiciary and judges accountable from this House. , this country was not made for gunmen to rule but you are the protectors, the story started with Missing Persons and in the end Parliament and Judiciary had to face each other. It arises from, if the matter will be like this, it will not be called proxy, then what will be said?
The incident of crushing the Gaza rescue workers, a report has been requested from the Minister of Interior
Senator Kamran Murtaza said that former senator Mushtaq Ahmed is running the Gaza Save Movement, the workers of his movement were run over by a car and two people were killed.
Chairperson Sherry Rahman said that a report has been sought from the Interior Minister on this matter.
Chairman Senate set the agenda
Prime Minister of Law Nazir Tarar explained that regarding the government representative, I want to say that there is no conflict situation in the institutions, the Chief Justice of Pakistan is a moderate and balanced judge. Say what you want, Parliament is a supreme institution, I hope the Chief Justice will decide on the case keeping transparency in mind, the matter should be sent to the Senate Secretariat to prepare a report and give that report to the Chairman Senate. Chairman Senate will decide the future course of action on this.
Senator Sherry Rehman, while sending the matter of Senator Faisal Vawda to the Senate Secretariat, directed that the Senate Secretariat should prepare its report on the matter and send it to the Chairman Senate.
Later the meeting was adjourned till 10:30 on Friday morning.
