SC Judge Slams State for Interference and Inaction

In a scathing critique, a Supreme Court judge has highlighted the state's political interference and failures in addressing critical issues. The court has been handling numerous cases, but instead of resolving them, the state institutions are preoccupied with toppling and forming governments. This has led to a significant loss of trust among the people in the institutions, which are expected to uphold their constitutional roles. The judge also pointed out that investigations into the killings of three former Prime Ministers and a senior judge in Balochistan remain unresolved, with accountability for the assassinations of Liaquat Ali Khan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and Benazir Bhutto still pending. The delay in accountability has further eroded the people's faith in the system, leaving the country's future uncertain. The situation has sparked widespread concern, with many calling for immediate action to address these critical issues and restore the public's trust in the institutions.
