ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court spokesman has clarified the remarksattributed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar.
Spokesman said on Thursday that CJP has not called Prime Minister (PM)Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as a ‘Faryadi’.
In a clarification issued by Public Relations Officer of Supreme Court ofPakistan (SC) Shahid Hussain Kamboyo, it was stated that this attributionto the honorable Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Justice Mian Saqib Nisar iscompletely wrong and malicious.
“Chief Justice holds the Prime Minister in high esteem, being the head ofthe government, and has never used the word “Faryadi” for him,” it added.
Any misgivings in this regard should, therefore, be put to rest, thestatement continued.
Earlier today, in a conversation with senior lawyer Latif Khosa, the CJPsaid. “PM Abbasi came to my residence to tell me his reservations but gaveme nothing. My responsibility is to listen to the agonies of ‘faryadi’.”
“Trust me and judiciary. I will not let down my department and lawyers,” heassured.
