ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Anwar Zaheer Jamali, on Tuesday suggested to the Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed to become a lawyer after his clever remarks.

During the PanamaLeaks case hearing, Sheikh Rasheed said the whole nation was looking at the court for the final verdict whether or not the issue would be investigated by a commission. He alleged that the government had submitted wrong documents and pleaded that his first stance was that the court should disqualify Nawaz under Article 63 of the Constitution and his next stance was that it should probe the PanamaLeaks. He recalled that there were judgments delivered by the apex court that once a liar was always a liar.

Sheikh Rasheed said the government had now submitted a letter of the Qatari ruler and may be another document will come from Mahatma Gandhi attested by Narendra Modi.  Agencies add: Talking to the media after the hearing, Sheikh Rasheed blasted the PML-N. “The party’s lawyer has brought the highness of Qatar to the court by providing documents signed by its former PM.” He claimed that attacks on borders and bomb blasts at shrines were occurring due to the Panama Papers case.
