ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has termed Shahbaz Sharif's statements  on providing security to Mansoor Ijaz as 'contempt of court', Express News reported on Friday.

Malik said that he will file a request for a 'contempt of court' notice against the chief minister.

Shahbaz Sharif, on Thursday, said that he will take personal responsibility of providing complete security to Ijaz during his visit to Pakistan.

He said that he will welcome Ijaz and will provide him security till the last moment he is in Pakistan, and also offered the judicial commission probing the controversial memo to come to the province to record Ijaz’s statements.

In response to Shahbaz's statements, Rehman Malik also said that the 'cat is out of the bag' now and that it was clear why Nawaz Sharif went to court for the Mansoor Ijaz case.

Malik is wrong. Contempt of court is only applicable for elected govt officials with constitutional immunity. Contempt is not for rightwing leaders, and generals.
