I didn’t commit contempt of court: Daniyal

ISLAMABAD: A three-member Supreme Court (SC) bench, headed by Justice Azmat Saeed, on Friday asked Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Daniyal Aziz to submit video clips of his speech aired on different news channels.

During Friday’s hearing of the contempt of court case, Justice Saeed told the federal minister that the courtroom had arranged a screen to watch videos of the speech where he allegedly spoke against the judiciary.

“So which film are you showing us today,” Justice Saeed asked. However, Daniyal Aziz responded that he had submitted a written response in the court and had no films to show. When Daniyal Aziz insisted that didn’t commit the contempt of court and he had been misquoted by a newspaper, the bench said that the court had provided him with the transcript and the video of the speech aired on TV channels.

The bench then told Daniyal to submit the video of the speech in which he was allegedly misquoted, warning him that the court would not provide him more time. Daniyal said that he had requested the Press Information Department to provide him with the clips and transcript. The hearing was adjourned until March 6.
