ISLAMABAD, July 26(ABC): Former interior minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, while reacting on Tuesday to the ruling coalition’s objection to the Supreme Court’s decision to continue the hearing on the Punjab chief minister’s election with the current three-member bench, said that it is “extremely unfortunate” that the chief justice’s bench was dubbed a “fixed bench.”
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday rejected a petition seeking the formation of a full bench for hearing the case pertaining to the Punjab chief minister’s election — where Hamza Shahbaz defeated Pervez Elahi.
Rasheed said that the coalition leaders should then say who their favourite judges are.
As the politician continued his criticism of the coalition government, he said that the “economy is being destroyed” and that PML-N is also “trying to avoid the elections”.
