On Wednesday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) dismissed petitions seeking the disqualification of federal minister for information Fawad Chaudhry and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
During the hearing, IHC Chief Justice (CJ) Athar Minallah stated that political parties should address their differences outside of court. He questioned how a judge could reject a legislator who was elected by the votes of nearly two lakh people.
