As PMLN Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday cleared yet another legal hurdle ahead of the Feb 8 general elections after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) acquitted him in the Al-Azizia reference, ‘heap criticism’ pouring in on him and the judicial system of the country on social media platform for such a fantastic gift given to him in just “two hearings.”
Kitnay Admo Thay “two…sardar”… Seems like the case of Sholay of Indian movie.
Two hearings were enough to clean Nawaz from laundry of the judiciary….Lagay Raho Muna Bhai…this is Pakistan.

لاڈلے میاں نواز شریف کو بری کر دیا گیا۔ انصاف صرف نواز شریف کے لیے۔ پھر کہتے ہیں کہ لاڈلا نہ کہو۔ چلیں ہم لاڈلا کہنا بند کر دیتے ہیں آپ PM @ImranKhanPTI کا ٹرائل لائیو TV پے دکھا دیں۔

PTI senior leader and former federal minister Moonis Elahi has said on X: ” Ladla Nawaz Sharif is acquitted today. Justice is left only for Nawaz Sharif and then it is said don’t call Nawaz Ladla. Let’s don’t call him Ladla but broadcast Imran Khan’s trial live…”
In another tweet Mr Moonis said: “Today is #InternationalHumanRightsDay but unfortunately in Pakistan humans don’t have rights especially if they are connected to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. #SelectedHumanRights.”
چوہدری پرویزالہی دور میں لاہور کے بیشتر انڈرپاس منظور ہوئے اور ان پر اسی دور میں کام بھی شروع ہو گیا۔ اب وہ کام قدرتی طورر پر غیر آئنی قائم مقام حکومت کے دور میں ختم ہوا تو اگلے نے اسی چیز پر اپنی بڑانڈنگ اور پی ار مہم شروع کر دی ہے۔ https://t.co/Bt8oR3od5N

آج عدالت نے 40 سال بعد بھٹو کو انصاف دینے طلب کیا، بھٹو خاندان کا ایک فرد بھی نہ آیا صرف زرداری اور اسکا خاندان تھا۔۔

On Tuesday a two-judge bench comprising IHC Chief Justice (CJ) Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the verdict, which was reserved earlier in the day, while hearing Nawaz’s appeal against his conviction in the Al-Azizia reference.
The Al-Azizia case was one of the two graft references that Nawaz was convicted in. He was acquitted in the Avenfield reference on Nov 29 by the same bench.
“Pakistan Zindabad.”
Nawaz still remains disqualified from holding public office by the Supreme Court (SC) in the Panama Papers case, and in a later judgment interpreting Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution — the provision that involves honesty and trustworthiness — the top court ruled that the disqualification is for life.

But with the magic wand Nawaz will be declared eligible in this too and no one dares to challenge this.
