- Judge remarked that the justice system is functioning, and if it ends, society will end
Islamabad: After the approval of her interim bail application, Bushra Bibi, wife of PTI’s founder Imran Khan, had an important exchange with Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Judge Tahir Abbas Supra.
Bushra Bibi’s Criticism of the Judiciary
- Bushra Bibi expressed her concerns, saying, “After what happened to the founder of PTI and us, the trust in the law has been lost. The trust in the courts has been lost.”
- Judge Tahir Abbas Supra responded by reassuring her, “No, it is not like that. Trust has not been lost from everywhere. The justice system is working as it is. If it ends, then society will end.”
- The judge emphasized the importance of fulfilling legal procedures and acknowledged Bushra Bibi’s regular court appearances.
Bushra Bibi’s Disillusionment
- Bushra Bibi, however, remained critical, sharing her observations during the trial: “I have seen judges getting sick, trembling. A judge’s blood pressure went to 200, but he had to sentence us, and he did. There is law in the country, but no justice.”
- She expressed dismay over the state of governance, stating: “The founder of PTI is in jail, and the constitution is being violated. There is imprisonment for upholding supremacy.”
- In conclusion, the judge instructed Bushra Bibi to remain actively involved in her legal cases. Following the proceedings, Bushra Bibi departed for Adiala Central Jail.
