Justice should be beyond personal preferences: Khawaja Asif

ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) leader Khawaja Asif on Friday asserted that justice should not be swayed by personal preferences or the judge’s mood, emphasising impartiality for the judiciary to function fairly.

Taking to X, the defence minister warned that if justice is influenced there would be dishonesty and it would be considered a murder of justice. Khawaja Asif emphasised that those who claim to uphold the rights of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan should also acknowledge the wrongs committed by the judiciary in the past. The statement came days after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted bail to Imran Khan in the 190 million pound National Crime Agency (NCA) settlement reference.
