Asif questions court relief to Imran

Defence minister says court's impartiality rendered questionable with 'unprecedented relief' extended to PTI chief

SIALKOT:

Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has said that the unprecedented relief given to PTI Chairman Imran Khan has raised questions about impartiality of courts.

Addressing a news conference at his residence on Saturday, he said the judiciary should act according to the Constitution and law, instead of personal liking and disliking.

He said facilitation provided to Imran Khan by courts was highly questionable. He said when a judge would tell an accused that he was happy to see him, what justice could be expected from him.

He wondered where were such judges when verdicts were being given against Nawaz Sharif and his family members. APP
