rules out ‘politics’
Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Thursday reassured the government’s resolve to probe the issue of threat letters received by multiple judges, including Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, stressing that the issue must not be marred by politics. “The government of Pakistan will investigate the threatening letters [sent to the judges],” PM Shehbaz said while chairing a meeting of the federal cabinet in Islamabad today. The premier’s remarks came after several judges, including those belonging to the Supreme Court (SC), the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and the Lahore High Court (LHC) received threatening letters. Among those who received such letters at SC on Wednesday include CJP Isa, Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail and Justice Aminuddin Khan, Geo News reported citing sources. News Desk
