ISLAMABAD: The Lahore High Court on Wednesday has summoned Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal to appear before court in a contempt of court case.
The LHC summoned the Interior minister while hearing a petition filed by a citizen Amna Malik. A three-member bench headed by Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi ordered Ahsan Iqbal to appear before the court on May 7th.
According to the petitioner, it stated that the minister used derogatory language against the honorable judiciary in one of his speeches.
The petitioner was referring Ahsan Iqbal’s on April 25th, wherein he had asked the top judge, Mian Saqib Nisar, to charge-sheet him instead of hurling allegations.
The speech which was widely shared on social media was hailed and criticized as the minister had said in a point-blank statement: Enough is enough.
