PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Friday demanded that the president and the law minister resign for the “false reference” filed against Justice Qazi Faez Isa.
The PPP chairman, in a post-NA-249 victory media briefing, said that his party had at the outset termed the action against the judge “illegal” and “inappropriate” and condemned the probe against him.
“We had demanded at the time that whoever is involved in this, in the blackmailing of judges, in spying against them, and those who have sold this reference, which includes the prime minister, the president of Pakistan and their advisors and ministers […] should resign after attacking judges in this manner.
“Now after his acquittal and after the conspiracy has been exposed, there must be action against them and an investigation must be conducted to determine the nature of this conspiracy which targeted an honourable justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan [and subjected him to] political victimisation and character assassination,” a double-masked Bilawal said.
