High Court judge Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb said that on the first day, the entire machinery of the state is active. Shireen Mazari’s arrest is not related to MPO. “Let me tell you that what is happening is not related to the cases. Everything is happening in politics. They are not related to the cases,” he said.
The court remarked that the arrest of Shireen Mazari has nothing to do with the lack of peace. “The entire state machinery was involved in politics. If you had told us, we would have heard other cases. The IG preferred DC Pindi’s order over the court’s order,” he added.
Later, summoning the IG Islamabad in a personal capacity on May 31, the court ordered him to submit a written reply before the hearing.
