Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) Senator Azam Nazir Tarar has urged the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take notice of the contemptuous statement of Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry.

Tarrar said the reprehensible statement of the Information Minister amounts to contempt of court, over which the Supreme Court should summon the Information Minister. He strongly condemned the statement and called it a sinister attempt to malign the independent nature of the Supreme Court Bar Association. He urges all bar associations and lawyers to condemn this behaviour and take notice.

The Senator said this attempt to politicize the case pending in the Supreme Court was an attempt to tarnish the image of the judiciary of Pakistan.  He opined that attacking institutions, lawyers was equivalent to attacking organizations. Those who have no credibility of their own were making a vicious effort to tarnish the reputation of elected lawyers' organizations.

Tarrar urged the courts to take notice of such individuals who apologize in courts and the Election Commission and then commit contempt over and over again. He told the Information Minister should go to the Supreme Court instead of levelling contemptuous allegations. He also urged the judiciary to take notice of this attempt to politicize the Supreme Court.
