A few days back, I got a chance to meet a political personality who is said to be very close to the top leadership if the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), especially Maryam Nawaz. During the meeting I got to know of an informal meeting in which five PML (N) members along with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam and her husband, retired Captain Muhammad Safdar Awan sat together at the former PM’s residence to devise policy to counter the judgments and remarks of Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar that are affecting the party, and most particularly Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif salutes people during a rally supporting him in Islamabad on August 9, 2017. The Pakistani Supreme Court had disqualified Sharif on July 28, after a probe into the Sharif family’s wealth.
This strategy is of a very aggressive nature. The participants of that meeting had an absolute consensus on the unlawfulness of Nisar’s verdicts pertaining to the party’s former head Nawaz Sharif. They further agreed on the political sense in Nisar’s statements related to the famous Panama Papers case and others.
It is generally believed by PML (N) members that such decisions by the chief justice have contributed to the rise in the popularity of Sharif and consequently Nisar is trying to neutralize this by making frequent appearances in public.
Leaving behind his due responsibilities, Nisar is often seen taking unilateral actions on matters that could tend to bolster his support within the community. He is often found showing concern for clean drinking water, fees for private medical colleges and cases of high public interest like that of Zainab Ansari, a seven-year-old girl who was brutally murdered after being raped in Kasur, Punjab province.
Surprise visits to hospitals and intervening in state matters could have no other purpose than to gain public support or to affect the success of PML (N) in general elections scheduled for July.
Maryam Nawaz addresses supporters during an election campaign rally on May 4, 2013, in Lahore.
It was also decided in the above-mentioned session that decisions on such matters as disqualification of the party head and other similar decisions will be brought forward to the public platforms along with their presentation to Parliament.
Furthermore, effective legislation would be done in order to restrict Nisar and his fellow judges to their jurisdiction and to instruct them to take necessary actions quickly to resolve pending cases, the duty for which they are paid and must be their primary focus. However, administrative issues should remain the duty of elected representatives.
It was discussed in the session that Nisar is taking every step to rule out PML (N) from the political picture, and the timing of the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif from being the party head is one example of Nisar getting personal to defame PML (N).
The participants of that session also expressed anger at the use of such terms as “godfather,” “robbers” and “Sicilian Mafia” by Nisar as passing remarks while hearing cases regarding PML (N) and suggested appropriate legislative measures to give Parliament the right to counteract such humiliation of parliamentarians.
Here it is noteworthy that it was Nawaz Sharif who appointed Nisar to the position of law secretary under the Pakistani Ministry of Law and Justice. It was the first time in the history of Pakistan that someone from the Bar was nominated for this designation. Even more interesting is the fact that Nawaz Sharif promoted Nisar to the designation of judge of the Lahore High Court as well as to the position of chief justice of the Supreme Court. And this very person pushed Sharif behind the eight-ball.
God knows the intentions but apparently the Pakistani judiciary is making decisions that are political in nature rather than being based on justice. In order to move forward, judges should avoid being political, and also the PML (N) should refrain from adopting any aggressive strategy if its is really keen to see Pakistan progress.

Cheap Justice of Honourable Pakistan.
Totally misconceived view, CJ Saqib Nisar wasn’t in the bench which delivered the Panama verdict.
And the human is someone who is member of pakistan U.s almuny? No diiferance if he is look like a monkey? We all are human. And yes we like nawaz sharif. Not agree with you. Kindly accept different opinion naveed sb.
Not at all. He should not be a slave, but this nimination was based on political will not on merit. Cjp should refused it.
If Mr. Nawaz Sharif appointed Justice Nisar to an office does it mean that mr. Nisar becomes his slave, therefore no rules can be applied to Mr.Sharif , therefore he becomes a superman who is above the reach of the law of the land ?????????
Most true and the most realistic analysis of recent times. Stay safe.
I will go with wasif malik doctrine.

Beautiful piece of writing.

I am alos feeling sorry for your grand childs those need your attention but you are wastimg gime on social media and making rash and shameful comments. Kindly don’t be a reason for all old womans in pakistan. Be sensible and behave like a old and precious lady.
Thank you.
For me it is really depressing to see every one is fighting in pakistan but not for country rather for himself. I am so sorry but this was the pakistan what quaid e azam was looking for? Not only this column many more great columnist and anchors crying for pakistan. But nonsense readers making them disputed. For God sake don’t criticise good peoples and let us build a new progressive pakistan.
Agree with you. We want them to work for pakistan not against pakistan. Informative column.
Total agree with jimmy. Nothing wrong to becoming patwari minded. But hiding your age and wish to look young in young age is truely shameful act. Look at This nana dadi sort of woman crying for pakistan but feel ashamed to look like pakistani. Look at her hair, ugly face, dresses. She wants to be like european. But unfortunately she looks like a joker. I am also surprise why people thinks if u can comment in english then u are wise person. I am sorry nadira but have to say u are mother of stupidity. Also will request u to be simple. U look horroble in this look.
You are such a shameless woman.really ashamed of this old lady becoming young. Like putting colour on hair does not mean you are young. Same like learning enlgish does not make you sane. Nadira subhaudin column has100% clear message but old woman like you trying to being younger can not understand, because your intention is to hide your age and want to attract young mens is really bad. Your father and husband must be ashamed on you.
What a one sided article written by a patwari minded so called columnist ..& defended by pmln social media members being paid from us tax payers money …. the nation is fully behind the judiciary & we want the looted wealth of Pakistan back from the sharifs & their cronies who r worse than a Sicilian Mafia as r in power … shameful article distorting facts & reality

It’s really very unlawful to ask your prime minister what what are the sources of his income and he has no concrete evidence to provide
