If Imran has been given seven-day time then Daniyal, Talal and Hashmi also be given such concession: Marriyum

ISLAMABAD (APP) - Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Wednesday said 'justice must be seen to be done' in the contempt of court case being heard by the Islamabad High Court against former prime minister Imran Khan.

“The region’s most popular leader and three-time prime minister (Nawaz Sharif) was barred from heading the party after his lifetime disqualification on account of not receiving salary from his son with the help of Black’s Law Dictionary, and sent to jail along with his daughter, ” she said in a series of tweets.

عمران خان کو 7 دن کی مہلت ملی تو دانیال عزیز، طلال چوہدری اور نہال ہاشمی کو بھی ملنی چاہئے سابقہ فیصلے انصاف کے ترازو کا منہ چڑھا رہے ہیں .اگر آج کا فیصلہ درست ہے تو اُن فیصلوں کو بھی درست کیا جائے اور اگر وہ درست تھے تو اِس فیصلے میں بھی انصاف ہوتا نظر آنا چاہئے

"If justice were to be done on the 'basis of popularity' then why it was ignored in the case of Nawaz Sharif," she questioned.

Marriyum Aurangzeb said that if Imran Khan has been given seven days time (to submit his reply in the contempt case) then Daniyal Aziz, Talal Chaudhry and Nihal Hashmi should also have been given such concession.

“If today’s decision is right then the past verdicts ( in the contempt of court cases) should also be corrected, and if those (the past ones) were correct then the justice should be seen to be done in the instant case,” she added.
