ISLAMABAD: A petition seeking the i
nitiation
of contempt proceeding
s against Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafi
que over scandalising higher judiciary and judges after the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif has been filed before the Supreme Court.
The petition has been filed by former president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Lahore Awais Younis. The complainant has demanded legal action and punishment for Saad Rafi
que over contempt of court.
“After Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification by Supreme Court, Saad Rafique not only targeted judiciary in his press con
ference but also blamed judges for involvement in conspiracy against Nawaz Sharif,” the petition states.
It maintains that proceeding should be i
nitiated against the minister as he said that ‘those judges taking oath under PCO have also not remained ‘Sadiq’ and ‘Amin’.”
