LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has alleged that PPP has announced a war against the judiciary and the PML-N accepts the challenge to stop the ruling party from achieving its targets, he announced during a press conference in Lahore.
“We have decided that we will not remain silent on the lack of obedience of court rulings. If the government and this corrupt group keep on defying the courts, we will muster all power to stop them,” Sharif said. “We will take action against their resolve to disrespect the judiciary. PPP has announced an open war against judiciary in the country. We accept this challenge and are ready to offer sacrifice to uphold the law. Even if we have to relinquish our government for this cause, we are ready to do that.
Shahbaz Sharif said the governments decision to not to respect the court rulings is a dangerous sign.
“For the first time in the history of Pakistan, court decisions are being thrown into the dustbin. The court’s decision is being disrespected. Courts are being shown the attitude that their decisions are subject to government’s assent,” he asserted. “The government is acting like it cannot be accounted for such an attitude. This is a very dangerous sign,” Sharif said.

Mr Shabiz Sharif, may be honest and want betterment in country.However PML-N leader has no vision at all.We all have seen this in there 3 year government in Punjab. I feel now we have to find better Leader rather then to select again PML-N from Punjab. Hope these leader of PML-N eiter replace there leadership or get ready to lost the election in Punjab. And rest of Pakistan may try them as I dont know what will be they deliver in other provinces!!

PPP might or might not have “announced an open war against the judiciary” —– what do you care?! You guys, actually, you brutes went ahead and attacked the Supreme Court of Pakistan while in session and you chased away the, then, Chief Justice of Pakistan Syed Sajjad Ali Shah and made him run for his life. All this while the the Court was in session! Remember that day of infamy on that unfortunate darkest day of the history of civilization. You and your gang of faceless cowards, you destroyed our peace that day never to be same again. O’ how I wish we could unify and never forgive you and your gang for interrupting the way our lives used to be. You taught our people how to hate and I hope when the time comes and we could stand again unified and make you all run without a place to hide and could eventually hunt you down and make you and your coward friends beg for their life. Just wait for the nation’s awakening and you’ll see the vengeance will be swift. O’ I curse you for your rapid demise.Recommend
When did PPP attack the SC of Paksitan while it was in session? When did PPP workers attack a police party to get their criminal leader released? PML-N while in office attacked the SC CJ who was from Sind and too independent for the Sharif brothers! Shurm tum ko magar nahi aati.

Hypocracy at its best – PMLN will never change itself unless people punish them for their hypocracy. Sharifs always need a shoulder to climb.Recommend
I agree with Mr Shahbaz Sharif that the PPP has declared an open warfare with the judiciary but I will like to remind Mr Shahbaz and his elder brother that they did the same thing in the past. The Supreme Court was brazenly attacked by PML (N) goons.
It is very easy to criticize others. Why did you not set an example when it was your time? PML (N) only wants to topple the government one way or another. Nawaz Sharif is dying to become the Prime Minister once again.
