SIALKOT: Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the job of the judiciary is to make decisions according to the Constitution and the law, and not to hold a panchayat (village council).
Addressing a press conference at his residence in Sialkot on Sunday, he emphasized that the judiciary holds a matter of public trust, while former Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar went too far in his enmity against PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif during the last few months.
Khawaja Asif also criticized PTI Chairman Imran Khan, blaming him for the crises the country is currently facing, alleging that the former premier had fixed a rate list for party tickets. He further alleged that Imran Khan and his facilitators oppressed Nawaz Sharif and family beyond limits. The minister severely criticized the PTI chairman, saying that the former ruling party has got new facilitators.
The PMLN leader alleged that Saqib Nisar admitted on TV about his son’s recent audio leak, and held PTI Chairman Imran Khan responsible for the crises the country is faced with today. He further claimed that staying away from power is eating up Imran from within.
The minister also claimed that the masses will be provided relief in the upcoming budget in June, and that the government has fulfilled all the conditions of the IMF. “Now, we have to see whether the IMF fulfills its commitments or not,” he added.
