ISLAMABAD – Shahid Afridi has advised Chief Justice of Pakistan forintrospection within the institution of judiciary headed by the top judge.

The star all-rounder took to Twitter to congratulate the chief justice fordoing a “remarkable job”, saying his surprise visits to public facilitiessuch as hospitals and colleges “have been of great service to the nation”.

Afridi suggested in the same breath, however, that Justice Nisar shouldalso take out time to visit lower courts “so that he can fix the blacksheep [sic] within as well”.

The apex court, under its 2018 era is focusing on human rights issues,particularly those relating to the people’s right to quality education andhealthcare. However, this course of action is also being seen as anoverstepping of boundaries, similar to the Iftikhar Chaudhry era.

The chief justice has stood by the court’s actions, reiterating that suchcriticism will not deter him from exercising what he considers is his”constitutional right”.
