Claiming that PTI Chairman Imran Khan considered himself to be superior, Federal Minister for Planning and Development and PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal on Tuesday said that the Supreme Court (SC) was lenient towards him, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Talking to 24News, he said what to speak of lower courts, when Imran did not comply with the apex court orders. “For seven months he kept defying the SC order on the restoration of local bodies,” Ahsan said, adding, “What a pity that the SC failed to issue him a contempt of court notice.”
He went on to say that how strange it was that the man who would lecture the nation on western democracy and respect for courts, was now making excuses to skip court hearings and evade arrest. “Imran tells the nation to be brave and not to be subservient to the USA,” Ahsan said, adding, “Contrary to what he says, he does not have the courage to receive summons from the court.”
Unlike PTI chief, the minister said he and other PML-N leaders, including the party supremo Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz attended court hearings.
