Pakistan will suffer if judges continue to play politician, says Bilawal Bhutto

PPP chief lambasts superior judiciary for 'doing everything but its job'

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto has said that Pakistan will suffer if the judges in the country continue to play politician, Express News reports.

In a post on the social media platform Twitter, the PPP chief noted that a Law Reforms Commission under the supervision of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) had already been formulated, with top judges from all four provinces as members.



"According to the law, this commission is required to meet four times in a single year. However, no such meeting has taken place since 2015," he observed.
