ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said on Thursday that some people with questionable knowledge and credibility became judges after the restoration of former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Chaudhry. Fawad Chaudhry said after a special court detailed verdict in high treason case against General (r) Pervez Musharraf. He also said that people who were attempting to play with fire didn't know that they could get burned. “They neither have the capability to select words nor issue statements,” he added.

افتخار چوہدری کی بحالی کے نتیجے میں ایسے لوگ بھی جج بن گئے جن کی اھلیت اور علم پر سنجیدہ سوالات ہیں، آگ سے کھیلنے کے شوقین حضرات کو علم ہی نہیں کہ جل بھی سکتے ہیں، نہ لفظ چننے کی اھلیت نہ بیان کا سلیقہ ۔۔ یہ ریت نئ نہیں لیکن تاریخ کا سبق ہے کہ کوئ تاریخ سے سبق نہیں سیکھتا pic.twitter.com/W41Yk116XV
