ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Senator Aitzaz Ahsan, said on Friday that the Sharif brothers were mafia but the judges should give such remarks.

The Senator said Nehal Hashmi was speaking the language of PM and if Nawaz Sharif remained Prime Minister, he would appoint Nehal Hashmi as governor. Aitzaz said this speaking to journalists outside the Parliament House.

Commenting on the remarks of the SC judge’s on Nihal Hashmi’s threatening speech, Ahsan said that judges should not give such type of remarks, but should author judgments. He said, “Such remarks pollute the environment.”

Ahsan alleged that the Sharif brothers were a real mafia and both Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif were like spoiled children. He said that he would submit documents against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the Joint Investigation Team, alleging Nawaz Sharif was behind the recent remarks of Nihal Hashmi.

Meanwhile, Aitzaz Ahsan said that Supreme Court’s confirmation of Registrar’s call to departments concerned seeking nomination of choice candidate for JIT proves Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s apprehensions that he would not get justice.

The top PPP leader and constitution expert in a TV talk show said, “If the judges of the Supreme Court are admitting that they asked the Registrar to include the name of Bilal Rasool in JIT, Nawaz Sharif’s apprehensions have weightage.” The anchor questioned, “What are these apprehensions?” Aitzaz replied: “That he (Nawaz Sharif) will not get justice”. He moved on to say, “I am saying so if it was like this only that I do not believe and I am not ready to believe this that the Supreme Court’s Registrar would have nominated someone.”

On Thursday, during the hearing of contempt case against PML-N’s Nehal Hashmi, Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan said that the court had constituted a Joint Investigation Team to probe the matter and they had asked the Registrar to pick such and Shahbaz Sharif were like spoiled children. He said that he would submit documents against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the Joint Investigation Team, alleging Nawaz Sharif was behind the recent remarks of Nihal Hashmi.
