Mazari says Farogh Naseem misguided Imran over Justice Isa reference

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shireen Mazari said that the case against Justice Qazi Faez Isa was made by Farogh Naseem. She said Chairman PTI Imran Khan was misled about the reference against Justice Isa.

The MQM-P’s Naseem was a federal law minister in the PTI’s government. He resigned from the office as federal minister to plead the case against the Supreme Court judge in June 2020.

Blaming the then law minister Farogh Naseem for filing the reference, the former human rights minister said it was Naseem who caused the most damage to the PTI government.

The PTI government was damaged by cases filed by Farogh Naseem against Justice Faiz Isa, she said while speaking to a private news channel on Saturday.

Mazari also said giving a go-ahead to the name of the current chief election commissioner was a big mistake.

The PTI minister also recounted her personal experience, saying Naseem had lodged a complaint in connection with the enforced disappearance bill against her at the Aabpara police station.
