Lahore: Opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz said on Friday that although Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry’s stepping down from the bench, hearing the suo motu notice against Arsalan Iftikhar, was a good gesture but he should distance himself from the Supreme Court as all the judges are subordinate to him.
 Addressing the provincial assembly, the PPP leader said that if provincial budget failed to provide relief to the people, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will register its protest.
Riaz said that his party respects the sanctity of the courts.
It is to mention here that, some political analysts say the the PPP government was behind the campaign against the Chief Justice as Malik Riaz, main character in the episode, enjoyed good relations with President Asif Ali Zardari.
