Federal Ministers including Khawaja Asif, Rana Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb also held press talks at the end of first session of Supreme Court proceedings today, in which they not only demanded to constitute full bench to hear the case of elections delay, but also warned that if the 3 judges bench went ahead with the hearing, they would not accept the verdict.
As PMLN did in 1997 by storming SC to attack CJ Sajjad Ali Shah hearing a contempt petition against Nawaz Sharif, today PMLN is again threatening SC & CJP because they are petrified of elections. I want ppl of Pak to be ready to come out in streets if need be to save Rule of Law,
