Fawad Chaudhry Tells Justice Isa To Resign From Post And Contest Councillor Election

Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has asked Supreme Court (SC) judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa to resign from his position and contest a councillor election so he can determine his popularity and acceptance rate among the public.

"We have been hearing speeches of an under-trial Supreme Court judge for a week, but we would be accused of contempt of court if we respond to it," he said in a tweet. The minister did not name Justice Isa, but it is clear that the term 'under-trial' was in reference to the said judge's ongoing cases in the apex court.

While the ruling PTI's supporters agreed with his tweet, the minister also received flak from others including lawyers who have worked with Justice Isa.
