On Saturday, Islamabad High Court (IHC) judge, Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui has claimed that an agency approached the IHC Chief Justice Muhammad Anwar Khan Kasi to ensure that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz remain in jail till the elections.
While addressing at the Rawalpindi Bar Association, Justice Shaukat said that the agency, which contacted the IHC judge, “did not want Nawaz Sharif and his daughter out of the prison until after the elections.” So the agency asked the IHC chief justice to “not include Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui on the bench that would hear Sharifs’ appeals.”
The IHC judge also stated that the judiciary is equally responsible for the current prevailing situation in the country. Justice Shaukat said, “The judiciary and institutions are equally responsible for the situation in the country.
