Unfortunate tirade against judiciary in Pakistan

 According to media news Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued warrant of MQM self exiled leader Altaf Hussein after his controversial speech against judiciary. In his recent speech Altaf highly criticized judges and used foul language against judiciary. After Supreme Court ruling against Altaf instead of abide by rule of law supporter of MQM immediately stared agitation and closed all areas of Karachi and as a result country weak economy suffered heavy losses. True reality is that after long years of dictatorship Judiciary in Pakistan is still passing through critical stage of its history. After brave decisions of Supreme Court in several topcases against corrupt politicians and also country powerful secret agencies things are going more tough for judiciary.

 

Now judiciary is prime target and baseless media campaign is still going on against honourable judges and judiciary. Chief Justice son case is an example that how corrupt politicians and bureaucracy are creating more hurdles for judiciary. In TV talk shows government ministers and top personalities using harsh language no one can describe in words. UnfortunatelyPolitical leaders have failed to set any example of respect of law for ordinary people and even party leaders are using foul language against judiciary which is very unfortunate.
