Peshawar: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Arbab Khizer Hayat Khan has warned the ruling party, led by Asif Ali Zardari, against maligning the superior judiciary.
“Faisal Raza Abidi is bad-mouthing the apex court and its chief justice at the behest of his boss Asif Zardari,” Khizer Hayat said in a statement on Friday.
He was referring to a recent press conference where Faisal Raza Abidi, a PPP senator, unleashed a salvo of accusations against the judiciary, particularly Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
Although, the PPP immediately disowned Abidi’s contemptuous remarks as his personal views, Arbab Khizer said the press conference was arranged on the orders of Zardari as part of the PPP’s strategy to ridicule the judiciary.
“It’s ironic that the Pakistan People’s Party disowned Senator Abidi’s venomous press conference – while the next day PPP legislators in the Sindh Assembly bad-mouthed the chief justice,” Khizer said.
He added that Zardari has used such ugly tactics umpteen times in the past. “Zardari first used Sindh’s former Home minister Zulfiqar Mirza against his own political ally, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
