ISLAMABAD: A contempt of court petition has been filed against Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) President Senator Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani in the Supreme Court (SC) for making derogatory remarks against the SCâs judges. Dr Aslam Khaki, who had already challenged the degrees of 65 MMA parliamentarians in the SC, filed the petition under Article 3 of the Contempt of Court Act.
| One of the MMA's bitches against Perv is his rule that you need a degree to run for parliament, the assumption being that the candidate will thereby know how to read and write. Given Pakland's literacy rate, that puts MMA at a disadvantage. Seems like Noorani's degree isn't quite kosher, er... halal. |
Mr Khaki cited the remarks of Senator Noorani, which were published in an Urdu daily on June 6 wherein Senator Noorani had called the SC âunconstitutionalâ and the three-year extension in the service of the judges âan official bribeâ. Mr Khaki said Senator Noorani was among those respondents whose educational degrees had been challenged and the cases were sub judice in the court. âHis remarks are derogatory, offensive and are intended to malign the image of the judiciary and by this way he has tried to shield his expected disqualification on merit. His statement comes within the ambit of contempt of the court,â Mr Khaki said. |
