ISLAMABAD – Former premier Nawaz Sharif said on Thursday that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi can seek an explanation from the Chief Justice, over his remarks regarding his (Abbasi’s) meeting with him.
Talking to newsmen at the accountability court in Islamabad, where he appeared regarding the graft references filed by National Accountability Bureau, the PML-N leader referred to CJP Justice Saqib Nisar’s comments wherein he said he did not lose anything and only gained from his meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
“The chief justice should not have said what he did. Every state institution should stay within its constitutional limits,” expressed Sharif.
The PML-N’s ‘Quaid for life’ claimed he never interfered in any other institution’s business.
“I never violated my constitutional mandate,” he claimed, insisting that other institutions to do the same.
The former lawmaker recalled and decried that Supreme Court Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh had remarked that there was a space vacant in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
“It is highly inappropriate to use such terms for a prime minister,” lamented Nawaz.
Stressing that it was important to discuss the importance of the Constitution and sanctity of the vote, the elder Sharif said that he would soon meet premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
