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

Shashi Sharma | 1 year ago | Reply Looking in from outside it s obvious that CJP Bandial is a partial judge. He too probably has a stake in the Al Qadr trust. No judge in their right mind would give such a big reprieves unless they were personally involved.

Jaffer Khan | 1 year ago | Reply Where is Nawaz Shariff now sir Why has he run away Imran is not an accused. The accused are sitting with you. If you are so much concerned then have elections. What is your legitimacy Who are you
