LAHORE: Minister for Railways and Aviation Khawaja Saad Rafique said on Sunday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would introduce a new judicial system through parliamentary legislation if it secured the government for another time and change the procedure for the judges’ appointment.
Speaking to the media after the Muslim League (N) workers’ convention at Bhatta Chowk, he said that former prime minister and supremo of the Muslim League (N) Nawaz Sharif will soon return to Pakistan and outline the new system of justice and economy. .
“Nawaz Sharif is coming back, Babbar Sher [Tiger] will be back in the country soon, and the Muslim League (N) will bring a new system of justice under his leadership,” the minister said.
Giving more details on judicial reforms, he said the procedure for appointing judges would be changed when his party forms the government after the next elections.
Saad said that expelling Nawaz Sharif on the basis of Iqama is a conspiracy. He said that democratic culture has to be introduced in political parties.
He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan lacks political vision. He lamented that PTI chiefs are saviors who are playing politics on dead bodies and targeting the establishment.
Muslim League-N has been criticizing the judiciary for playing a biased role in the country’s politics by supporting one person and sidelining another.
Maryam Nawaz, the chief organizer of the Muslim League (N), criticized the former Supreme Court judges in a scathing speech last month, saying: “Does Dam Wale Baba [former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar] know where Pakistan is today?” Does Baba Rehmat and [former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar] know? Does former Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa know where the country stands today?
In the Panama Papers case in 2017, former Chief Justice Khosa was heading the five-member bench of the Supreme Court which disqualified the then Prime Minister and supremo of the Muslim League (N) Nawaz Sharif.
