ISLAMABAD: Law Minister Babar Awan said on Friday that those who were in the service of Pakistan and getting salary, living in government accommodation and enjoying all perks and privileges should not indulge in politics.
He was speaking at a news conference along with Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira.
In reply to a question whether the government would submit a written reply in the Supreme Court regarding a report about a possible withdrawal of an executive order that had reinstated superior court judges, Mr Awan said: “The statement of the prime minister should have been accepted on the face of it because his earlier orders for setting the judges free and their reinstatement had been implemented there and then.”
The minister said the institutions where politics was not allowed “should not speak as they are speaking”.
