Asma Jahangir faces severe backlash from own group for anti Judiciary speech

Asma Jahangir is facing severe criticism by representatives of her own Democratic Group for her recent remarks against the top court’s July 28 verdict in Panamagate case.

The group, which has a majority in the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC), issued a statement, expressing concerns over Asma’s statement.

Former SCBA presidents Yasin Azad and Kamran Murtaza are backing Asma’s stance on the Panamagate judgment.

 However, most group members, like Ali Zafar and Abid Saqi, hail the SC’s July 28 verdict which resulted in the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif as prime minister.
