ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday claimed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has ran a social media campaign against the formation of a Supreme Court bench for a presidential reference seeking opinion on interpretation of Article 63 (A), ARY NEWS reported.
“We extremely condemn the PML-N campaign against the Supreme Court bench on presidential reference,” he said while talking to media at the apex court and said that the PML-N has attempted to create an impression of bias towards the bench which is condemnable.
Fawad Chaudhry further expressed reservation over the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and said that it should not become a subsidiary of a political party.
