A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar heard the case regarding the alleged misbehaviour of the GB minister with the arrival incharge at the Islamabad airport after his flight was delayed on November 16.
Censuring the GB minister over his misbehavior, the chief justice asked Hussain, “Did you push the airport staff? Are you an educated person?”
The minister admitted that he had pushed the airport staff.
Justice Nisar then questioned, “Were you in your senses at the time? How did you interfere in official affairs?”
“A poor man was mocked at the airport,” the top judge remarked. “We will call the Islamabad IGP and get a case registered against you,” he further told Hussain.
At this, the GB tourism minister said, “I did not push him owing to ill intentions. I pushed him, but there is a story behind it.”
On November 16, Justice Nisar had taken notice of the alleged misbehaviour of Gilgit Baltistan Tourism Minister Fida Hussain with the arrival incharge at the Islamabad airport.
As per media reports, the incident took place over a flight delay due to bad weather and the minister pushed the arrival incharge so hard that he stumbled, a SC press release had stated.
The GB minister was among passengers of PK-507 scheduled to travel from Islamabad to Gilgit who protested after their flight was delayed due to bad weather.
A video of Hussain showed him pushing the airport official saying not to “waste his time.” In another video, Hussain was also seen burning clothes at the airport and stopping staff who came to extinguish the fire. The protest came to an end after assurances by the airport manager.
