Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan has been requested to launch inquiry to ascertain the veracity of the allegations leveled against state institutions, it added.
On the other hand, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar has taken notice of the statement and sought record of Siddiqui’s speech from Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA).
The top judge said that the judiciary is working independently and free from any pressure. I read about the statement of a judge and was deeply disappointed, he added.
He vowed to launch an investigation into the matter and bring the facts to light.
Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui had alleged Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of manipulating the judicial procedures, adding that he is not involved in corruption. He further appealed Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) to hold an open trial against him.
Justice Siddiqui said that Pakistan can be compared with India, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka instead of comparing with the United States or Europe. “India will be a bigger economic power by 2030 and we are going backward,” he said.
