SC seeks report on Arshad Sharif’s killing The truth is hidden beneath many layers of lies,” the CJP added.

Today, it has become very difficult to find the truth. “The truth will only come out after investigation. “We don’t know how many enemies you have and who are they. “For now, let the HR Cell see the matter let it mature until the material comes ,” Justice Bandial said, urging Swati to stay strong.

The senator, however, contended that it was possible that the video which was circulating online was not the same as the video sent to him. Here, CJP Bandial said: “Swati sahab, may God give you patience we are instructing Pemra (Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) and PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) to remove the alleged video.” Meanwhile, Swati said that he could only show the video to the apex court’s judges. “Your request is being reviewed and the matter will be dealt with according to the law.” “But you never stayed at the Supreme Court’s rest house,” the top judge added. However, in a rebuttal issued yesterday, the SC said that Swati had “never used/stayed in Supreme Court Judges Rest House at Quetta”.ĭuring the hearing of a contempt plea against PTI chairman Imran Khan today, the CJP remarked that the top court’s HR Cell had taken up Swati’s matter, elaborating that the SC would intervene if required. Subsequently, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered the interior ministry to take notice of the issue. The development was widely condemned from across the political aisle. Recalling that visit, the senator said Senate Chairperson Sadiq Sanjrani had made arrangements for them to stay at the Supreme Court’s judicial lodges in Quetta. He had said that his daughter had told him that the video was from when Swati and his wife had visited Quetta. The senator had blamed the interior minister and two military officers for conspiring against him and said they should be held accountable if something happened to him.

On Saturday, Swati burst into tears before the media, saying that his wife had received a video featuring him and her and about which he could not share further details because the “daughters of my country are listening”. Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Monday said that the Supreme Court’s (SC) human rights cell was looking into the objectionable video involving Senator Azam Swati and his wife, which the PTI leader says was sent to him and is from his stay at the apex court’s judicial lodges in Quetta.
