Maryam Nawaz criticises SC verdict once again

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Vice-President Maryam Nawaz has criticised the Supreme Court (SC) verdict in Punjab Assembly deputy speaker ruling case once again, ARY News reported on Thursday.

Maryam Nawaz, while talking to media after Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) session in Islamabad today, alleged that the SC full bench was not formed as they wanted to do injustice and award Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.

She termed the rejection of the government’s plea for full bench as ‘unilateral decision and murder of justice’. Maryam claimed that the SC full bench decision would be different if it was constituted.
