The Chief Justice remarked that Mr. Attorney General yesterday, being careful, we did not pass any order. No one is willing to do their job. We are looking at the Practice and Procedure Law. The case related to this law was broadcast live and watched by the entire country. We expected journalists to file a CM today, show us some paper how we can proceed in this case.
It should be noted that the Supreme Court has asked for a report within two weeks against the torture of journalists in the yesterday’s hearing.
