“I have not done anything intentionally or unintentionally which amounts to contempt of court.  I exercised my right for expression within ambit of law.

He prayed the court to withdraw the contempt of court show cause notice.

A 3-member bench of SC led by Justice Ijaz Afzal Khan will take up for hearing contempt of court case on Monday; Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on February 01 had taken suo motu notice on anti judiciary speeches by Talal Chaudhry.
