ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faiz Isa has remarked during the hearing of the case that if you tell me by name what is bad, they will not allow targeting the institution.
On Senator Faisal Vawda’s press conference, a 3-member bench headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Qazi Faiz Isa, is hearing the suo motu case, in which Additional Attorney General Aamir Rehman appeared in the court. The Chief Justice inquired whether he heard the press conference of Faisal Vawda, to which the Additional Attorney General said that the complete video has not reached me yet, some part has been heard in the news.
The Chief Justice inquired whether this press conference falls under the category of contempt of court. If a case is pending in the court, can an opinion be given on it?
Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa said that more than that was said against me. But will you start to underestimate institutions? If I did something wrong, tell me, not the court. Lawyers, judges and journalists are all good and bad people. I may have seen 500 defects in this institution. The responsibility of the father’s sin cannot be given to the son. Do you want to lower the prestige of the judiciary with such things?
The Chief Justice remarked that he tried to bring transparency, reduced his powers, the weakest person who carries a gun and abuses. Whoever ends the argument, he picks up a gun or abuses. A commissioner got up and said I rigged the elections. Tell me, how can the Chief Justice be rigged? Such accusations are not made in religious societies.
The Chief Justice said that taking advantage of my neglect, he thought that we should also make a speech. Tell me what is bad. Institution will not be allowed to be targeted. Institutions belong to the people. Defaming institutions is not a service to the country.
