Rana Sana says Imran’s record of attacking judiciary quite ‘grim’

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s track record of ‘hurling abuses at judiciary is quite grim’, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

In a tweet on Saturday, he said that it was simply outrageous to see him lecturing others on showing respect for judiciary. 

Imran Khan’s track record of hurling abuse at the superior judiciary is quite grim; seeing him schooling others on it is outrageous, to say the least.#منافق_اعظم pic.twitter.com/12new7Jc2O

In a tweet on Saturday, the PML-N reminded the PTI chief the threats he had hurled at the female judge for denying bail to one of his party leaders Shahbaz Gill and hanging of shalwars outside the Supreme Court (SC) building by the PTI workers during the party’s sit-in at Islamabad’s Red Zone in 2014.

From threatening female judges to hanging shalwars outside the supreme court, you've orchestrated the worst possible assaults not just on the judiciary but on all state institutions.

Oh and listen to this video as a reminder and stop being such a crybaby 🍼😭 https://t.co/ydCkdBE7qT pic.twitter.com/fwq2gOe44r

On Saturday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan and PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif indulged in a spat on Twitter.

Imran Khan labelled Ms Sharif a ‘spoilt brat’ as he called out her ‘anti-judiciary tirade’. The PML-N leader, in response, accused the PTI chief of surviving with the help of the ‘Godfather’.

Oh,how the mighty have fallen!Your squeals are not amiss as you have been the king of conspiracies,thriving & surviving on them with the help of your Godfather Faiz & his vestiges. Now watch the ‘spoilt brat’ checkmate you so Godsons & pawns like you are relegated to irrelevance. https://t.co/TvBnFnk7VL

Four days ago, on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah had alleged that Supreme Court judges Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi were “biased” against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and party’s legal team will soon approach these two justices to recuse themselves from cases involving PML-N leader.

In a statement, Rana Sanaullah said Justice Ahsan was the supervising judge in the case against PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif and "justice was not expected from him".

The minister also put a question-mark over the impartiality of Justice Naqvi, claiming that irrefutable evidence had emerged in the audio leaks case that the apex court judge was hearing.
