Maryam trying to pressure judiciary, claims Fawad

While the Supreme Court (SC) is hearing a case pertaining to elections, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry has alleged that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz is trying to pressure the judiciary through her statements.

Speaking to the media here on Friday, Fawad said that the apex court was hearing the case pertaining to elections, but the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government was "ready to confront the judiciary".

Fawad said that they want to hide their performance by calling others stupid.
He added that in the past, "Maryam Nawaz and company" had launched an offensive against the judiciary, alleging that they were doing the same now.

The PTI leader said that the judges who invalidated Qasim Suri's ruling were also part of this bench, but the PTI did not launch any offensive against the judges.

He claimed that Maryam believed that she could pressure the judiciary, adding that the entire country was facing a "blackmailer government".

"Some people are being blackmailed through audio and some are being blackmailed through videos. Blackmailing through audio and video is a very dangerous trend," Fawad remarked.

"In the past, Saqib Nisar's audio was also propagated and a spectacle was staged on the audio but the judiciary was requested not to come under any pressure," he added.
