Terming the JUI-F’s protest outside Supreme Court as a pressure tactic, the former prime minister said they are protesting only for one purse to ‘stop’ CJ SC from giving the verdict in the Punjab poll as per the constitution.

The JUIF Drama being done outside the SC tomorrow is only for one purpose, to overawe the Chief Justice of Pakistan so that he doesn’t give a verdict according to the constitution.
