Ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today said that the chief justice should not have said what he did, adding that every state institution should stay within its constitutional limits.

While talking to media before heading to the corruption hearing, Nawaz was referring to Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar’s comments today wherein he said he did not lose anything and only gained from his meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

Nawaz said that the PM, if he deems fit, can seek an explanation from the chief justice over his remarks made today.

“I never violated my constitutional mandate,” he further claimed.

He stressed that other institutions should also do the same.

Nawaz recalled that Supreme Court Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh had said that there is space vacant in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. “It is highly inappropriate to use such terms for a prime minister,” lamented Nawaz.
