A reporter asked CJP about the liquor bottles he found while raiding Sharjeel Memon’s room in Ziauddin Hospital.
Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 8th January, 2019) Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar who is known for his judicial activism came across a reporter who asked him about his recent raid at Ziauddin Hospital.
When the reporter asked the CJP about the liquor bottles recovered from there, he simply ignored it.
According to details, a reporter asked Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar about the liquor bottles he found while raiding Sharjeel Memon’s room in Ziauddin Hospital.
The reporter said, “You have developed a great court system. People are praising it while overseas Pakistanis are also very happy. However, what do you want to say about when a CJP finds liquor bottles and it turns out to be honey after inquiry. When will the system imprve?”
The CJP’s staff restricted the reporter to ask this question, saying, “You should ask legal questions instead of medical ones.”
In September, 2018, CJP paid a surprise visit to Ziauddin Hospital and went to PPP leader Sharjeel Memon‘s room and found liquor bottles from there.
At least three bottles of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes were recovered from Sharjeel Memon’s hospital room.
The CJP when found the bottles asked about the attorney general. When inquired, Sharjeel Memon said that he has nothing to do with these bottles.
Following the incident, the CJP ordered to shift Sharjeel Memon back to jail and ordered his medical test while the medical reports of PPP leader Sharjeel Memon’s blood samples showed him clear of any element of alcohol.
Two persons were arrested after bottles of liquor were found from the room of Sharjeel Memon in Ziauddin Hospital. One of the arrested persons Muhammad Jam in his statement said that the bottles recovered from Sharjeel Memon’s hospital room were of honey and oil and not alcohol.
