Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Athar Minallah on Tuesday held the second hearing of the contempt case. Former Chief Justice of GB Rana Muhammad Shamim Banafs appeared in the court.

Appearing before the court, at the beginning of the hearing, Justice Athar Minallah blocked Rana Shamim on the rostrum and asked, “Have you submitted a written reply?” On this Rana Shamim said that my lawyer will explain why the answer could not be entered.

Former Chief Justice of Gilgit-Baltistan Rana Shamim has stated in the Islamabad High Court that his statement was affidavit which he did not give for publication and he did not know how it reached the media.

Chief Justice Athar Minallah asked, “Did you give the affidavit in London for any purpose?” The court is giving you 5 days, submit your answer, what is the purpose of giving this affidavit after 3 years? You tried to win the trust of the people from the court, in your written reply whatever you have to say, and adjourned the hearing till December 7.

Political analysts say that 24 hours have passed since the second contempt of court hearing on Rana Shamim’s affidavit, but there is complete silence in the PML-N camps. Neither Maryam Nawaz has released any Twitter message, nor is Maryam Aurangzeb Koki, Advocate Ata Tarar is also completely silent and Ahsan Iqbal’s statement has not been seen anywhere. This means that the PML-N has run out of air.

He said that after the hearing on November 26, the top leaders of PML-N had exploded bombs while taking up positions on social media but now the roar of their cannons could not be heard. This means that they have left Rana Muhammad Shamim alone in the field.

After the statement of Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, the confession of the late Judge Arshad Malik and now the affidavit of former Chief Justice Gilgit-Baltistan came to light, there was no legal, moral and logical justification for retaining the sentence of Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz. The requirements should be met, the punishments should be abolished. https://t.co/f6ZbiNfUGB
