Establishment needs to stop interfering in politics: KairaJudges, he said, were silent even though former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was persistently using foul language against them. Indicating that PPP also had reservations over the court’s decision in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s disqualification case, it opted not to criticise the judiciary. Nawaz Sharif, he said, was highlighting the fact that the court did wrong by allowing PTI chief relief based on statute of limitations while ignoring the same in his case. He said that he also wanted to point out that his brother and Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif also got similar relief in the Hudabiya Paper Mills case. The PPP leader said Nawaz Sharif could start a campaign against the judiciary in Punjab as there was his party’s government.
