ISLAMABAD: Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar has expressed displeasure over Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s press conference, asking PML-N leader ‘to stay within limits’. In statement, former Chief Justice has lambasted Khawaja Asif and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz for ‘speaking lies’, saying that these people will hide their faces if he starts speaking truth.

Saqib Nisar asked minister to ‘stay within limits of Constitution, law and ethics’, saying that Asif had already said on floor of Parliament that their Chief Justice is coming.

He pointed out that Chief Justice who takes oath under Constitution does not belong to any party but to Supreme Court. “They-PML-N leaders are levelling allegations against others to hide their corruption,” he added. Former CJP asked why Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz did not challenge 2018 elections, it they believe polls were rigged. Earlier in day, Khawaja Asif lambasted former CJP Saqib Nisar over audio leaks, saying that recordings have exposed former judge’s enmity with PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.
