Ansar Abbasi, a senior journalist, has filed a written
response to the contempt of court show cause notice. According to Ansar Abbasi,
the charge of contempt of court is bogus.
Ansar Abbasi, the editor of Jang Media Group's English newspaper The News, has submitted a written response in the Islamabad High Court to the contempt of court show cause notice issued after former Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Justice Rana Shamim's declaration was sworn in.
The
charge of contempt of court is false; as a journalist, I advocate for the
independence of the courts and the rule of law.
The senior journalist went on to say that the news / story
in question was based on an affidavit signed by former Chief Justice of
Gilgit-Baltistan Rana Shamim, in which he made complaints concerning former
Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar's behaviour. Gilgit-Baltistan was
called by the Chief Justice, who confirmed the signature of his affidavit and
its contents. Later, I called former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, who refuted the
affidavit's contents.
Ansar Abbasi stated, "I have always appreciated the
prestigious courts and judges the most, have complete confidence in the court,
have unshakeable faith in the judiciary for which we have fought and undergone
numerous pains, may Allah bless us." Given the chance to continue serving
the independent judiciary with our brave judges, I reject any accusations of
contempt of court.
Ansar Abbasi added that this is a piece of news that cannot
be ignored. I restate my support for the state judiciary and its respected
judges, notwithstanding the fact that the narrative does not include the name
of any High Court judge or the name of any High Court.
