Blasphemy case
ISLAMABAD
Islamabad High Court (IHC) has extended its order for not arresting PTI leader Shahbaz Gill till May 9 in blasphemy case over the Masjid-e-Nabbawi incident.
Chief Justice (CJ) of IHC Athar Minallah took up for hearing Shahbaz Gill petition regarding protective bail Friday.
PTI leader appeared before the court in injured condition.
Shagbaz Gill while recording his statement before the court said he did not get register case against any one. He did not take shelter from PEECA ordinance. I met with you for the first time during judiciary restoration movement. I was assistant professor in Islami university and I participated in the movement for restoration of judges by taking my students along with me.
The CJ IHC remarked “ Shahbaz Sahb I don’t know the movement for restoration of judges succeeded or other wise. The motive of judges restoration movement was that all the institutions should run under the constitution. We welcome the criticism. But if there is no respect for constitution and the institutions then there will be chaos.
Shahbaz Gill said the man who was attacked first after the departure of government, it is me. Maryam Nawaz statement is on the record that I should be crushed. The way they are taking action against me I don’t know if I will be before you or otherwise on next hearing.
CJ IHC remarked no no, there is not any thing like this. I see the legal matters not the political. If all things run on political narrative then it will end in political turmoil. The political parties build public opinion. Political leader role is however major role.
The court extended its order for not arresting Shahbaz Gill till May 09 besides exempting him from attendance during next hearing.
The court also ordered to club Shahbaz Gill case with other blasphemy cases.
