Talking to a private news channel, he said the JIT report was not against the expectations of the government, however, the PML-N lawyers would go through it to contest it before the court.

He alleged that the report was in fact the narrative of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).

Khawaja Saad Rafique said political opponents, including Imran Khan, Sheikh Rasheed and Aitzaz Ahsan had been using remarks of the judges against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders.

The minister said the PML-N had respect for the judiciary as it had played a vital role for its restoration.

He said there should be equal fundamental rights for everyone as nobody was above the law.
