PM himself agreed for ‘someone’ to travel abroad: CJP Khosa

Author:

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa Referring to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s foreign travel on medical grounds,  said on Monday that Prime Minister Imran Khan himself agreed for ‘someone’ to travel abroad, so it should not be said that the judiciary was the sole authority in the matter.

Addressing a ceremony in Islamabad, the CJP said that no one can question the credibility of the institution and allegations of “siding with the powerful” are false and unfounded.

“Only the law of the land is supreme in the eyes of judiciary,” said the CJP.

“Imran Khan should think as one was allowed by the government itself to fly to London,” the CJP remarked. He said they rule under the law as the law is supreme in their eye and not any person.

“It is the judiciary that disqualified one Prime Minister and sent another packing,” CJ Khosa remarked while addressing a ceremony in Islamabad.
