ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has accused a few lawyers of striking deal with the Prime Minister in order to launch campaign against selected judges of the superior judiciary.
The remarks were made by senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry, a day after a meeting between the prime minister and a delegation of the newly-elected office bearers of the bar councils from across the country, in which members of the delegation apprised the prime minister of the issues confronting the Pakistan Bar Council, Islamabad High Court Bar Council as well as the provincial bar councils, and the prime minister assured them of the immediate resolution of their genuine issues.
Federal ministers Azam Nazeer Tarar, Rana Sanaullah and Rana Tanveer Hussain, special assistants to prime minister Malik Ahmed Khan and Attaullah Tarar were also present in the meeting.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, Fawad Chaudhry said “two judges of the Supreme Court wrote a note to the Chief Justice of Pakistan for the elections, and a government-sponsored campaign was launched against both of the judges.”

He further said that yesterday, ‘tout lawyers’ of bar councils met with PM and shamelessly, struck financial deal to launch governmental campaign against judges. “Every institution in this country has been ruined,” he added.
