Taking to Twitter on Friday, Sheikh Rashid warned anyone ridiculing the (Supreme) Court’s verdict would have to face trial. The Supreme Court, it may be recalled, had ordered the ECP to hold elections in Punjab and KP within 90 days after the dissolution of provincial assemblies in January. Representatives of the federal government as well as some media analysts, who are generally believed to be aligned with the ruling coalition, had interpreted that the SC verdict of 5-judges bench had actually came in their favor with the ration of 4:3.
