Govt steps up criticism of higher judiciary

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Sunday urged the judiciary to take stock of its rapidly declining reputation in the world rankings.

In a tweet, Fawad mentioned the question raised by Minister for Law and Justice Farogh Naseem that if judges were not responsible for the assets of their wives and children, then how was it possible to hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable?

The minister said that the new chief justice would face this challenge when he would be sworn in.
