Senator Faisal Vawda said that there has become a trend of making baseless accusations against agencies and sensitive institutions while calling for concrete evidence to be presented.
Vawda emphasized that the growing public unrest must be addressed with facts rather than allegations. He was addressing a press conference at the National Press Club in Islamabad on Wednesday.
“Enough is enough,” Vawda declared, warning that continued unfounded claims could lead to severe repercussions. “If they throw their turbans, we will make a football out of their turbans. If you give respect, you will get respect,” Vawda said.
Vawda underscored the importance of maintaining integrity, particularly among public representatives and the judiciary. He questioned the dual citizenship of judges, arguing that if public representatives cannot hold dual citizenship, neither should judges.
The Senator pointed out that Justice Athar Minullah is reputed for his transparency and integrity, noting that Minullah does not meet anyone in secret or issue decisions merely for publicity. Furthermore, Vawda mentioned his letter to the registrar's office seeking information on Justice Babar Sattar, to which he has yet to receive a response.
Senator Vawda's call to action is clear of providing evidence of any alleged interference, and he will stand with those who do.
