“When media reported our remarks without context, the other side replies in same tune,” Chief Justice said.

On February 15, Chief Justice has said that he will not accept a crook heading a political party and ruling the country and prayed to the Almighty to not let that happen.

He made theses views during hearing a set of petitions challenging the Elections Act 2017, filed by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan, Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the Pakistan Peoples Party and 10 others.

“[By that logic,] can a dacoit and the ringleader of a drug mafia or a person involved in serious crimes also become the leader of a political party?” the chief justice asked rhetorically.

During the hearing, the chief justice pointed out that the party ticket issued by PML-N to its new recruit, Mushahid Hussain, bore the signatures of Sharif, who was ousted from the office last year following the Panama Paper investigation.
