Azam Swati is accused in the Islamabad IG transfer case.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 6th December, 2018) Reports regarding the resignation of Federal Minister for Science and Technology Azam Khan Swati are surfacing on mainstream media.

Azam Swati is accused in the Islamabad IG transfer case.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has also claimed that Azam Swati will resign the moment he is proved guilty. The prime minister had contended that he neither interfered in Azam Swati's issue nor in the JIT's report and assured that the Supreme Court's decision over the issue would be implemented.

Media reports however hint that Azam Swati can resign any moment now.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday warned Azam Swati to get ready for proceedings under Article 62-1(f).

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar said that he has written the reply of Federal Minister for Science and Technology Azam Swati.

The CJP added that the court will conduct the trial itself as per Article 62-1 (f).

He further said that you are the ruler of the day. "Do you treat your masses like this? Do rulers send women to jail because of cows?" he said.

Why shouldn’t we make an example out of Azam Swati, the CJP added.

Addressing the IGP, the CJP said that you didn’t take any action. To this, the IGP replied that the matter is pending in court, that’s why he didn’t take any action.
