ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court on Friday clarified a news item appearing in section of media regarding remarks attributed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali during the hearing of Orange Line Train Project.
A press release issued by Supreme Court on Friday said a misleading and concocted news item regarding remarks attributed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali during the hearing of Orange Line Train Project case published in the section of media on Friday under caption ‘monocracy exist in this country in the name of democracy but it is for the people who voted the rulers to power to stand up against them’.
The news item gives the impression as if Chief Justice of Pakistan is inciting people against the rulers of Pakistan. Therefore it is clarified that the news item as reported that people should stand up against the rulers is totally false, baseless and misleading, the press release added.
In fact the Chief Justice of Pakistan had remarked, ‘people should carefully assess the situation and prudently use their right to vote while electing their representatives’.
Moreover, it is required that the media should exercise caution instead of creating sensationalism through their reporting in the media which distort the actual facts.
