THE annoyance shown by the superior judiciary on the rash behaviour of a few PPP leaders is quite right.

It is the judiciary that has held high the flag of justice during the corrupt regime.

Throwing tantrums on the most able minds of the legal fraternity is unbecoming of senior leaders ofthe PPP.The regime has tried its best to cripple the superior judiciary by setting aside all its decisions. The apex court put bar on selling Steel Mills on a throwaway price. It has nullified the black law of NRO. It is the only hope of the poor to revive the system of justice.

Annoying senior judges would send a message to the world that we have no respect for the law or justice.
