The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has strongly condemned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) demand for Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa to recuse himself from hearing cases related to the party.
According to the official statement, the PBC termed the demand as “unfortunate and unacceptable” saying that it was an attempt to pressure the CJP and undermine the independence of the judiciary.
The council emphasized that the CJP is a highly respected and impartial judge, and his integrity is beyond question.
The PBC also highlighted that the CJP has always upheld the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution, and any attempts to malign him or the judiciary would be rejected.
The council reiterated its commitment to upholding the principles of an independent judiciary and the rule of law.
