Lawyers to move court to keep ‘extras’ at bay

Author: Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Lawyers in the Supreme Court have decided to file a petition against workers of Federal Ministers who come to the courtroom and stay there throughout the hearing of the Panamagate case. Lawyers and journalists have to face problems during the hearing of Panamagate case, as a large number of federal ministers, along with government employees associated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), come to the courtroom. During the hearing of the case, the stairs of the courtroom are usually occupied by those government employees who have no concern with the case and are just accompanying the federal ministers in, perhaps, a “show of power”. This situation has led to an exchange of harsh words between journalists and government employees.
