Defence Minister Khawaja Asif claims judiciary targeting judges for top role

Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, has recently made an allegation against the ongoing actions of the judiciary, claiming they are aimed at preventing Justice Qazi Faez Isa from becoming the Chief Justice in September.

Khawaja Asif voiced his suspicions in his address to the National Assembly, casting doubt on the solidarity of the judiciary and stating that Justice Isa was targeted under the influence of the former establishment and ex-PM Imran Khan.

He further commented on the filing of a reference against the senior judge, stating that no substantial outcome had been produced. These allegations come amidst a tumultuous political climate in Pakistan, with tensions already high between the government and the judiciary.

Khawaja Asif‘s claims are sure to add fuel to the already raging fire and may have significant repercussions in the near future. It remains to be seen how the judiciary will respond to these accusations and what implications they will have on the appointment of the next Chief Justice.
