LAHORE: PML-N Pre­si­dent Nawaz Sharif on Saturday urged the Sup­reme Court judges to reconsider their decisions to better serve the public.

Speaking during a Pun­jab government meeting on the solar progra­mme alo­ngside his daughter, Chief Minister Mar­yam Nawaz, Mr Sharif ref­erred to the apex court’s ruling in the reserved seats case, urging the judiciary to focus on the welfare of the masses.

“Those giving decisi­ons, like the one in the reserved seats case, need to rethink as they must take care of people,” he said.

“The country is not be­ing treated fairly,” Mr Sharif commented, hinting at alleged judicial biases. “We had said goodbye to IMF, but everyone knows who brought it back.”

The former prime minister recalled the Supreme Court’s role in the Panama Papers case in 2017, which led to his removal from off­ice after PTI leader Imran Khan filed a petition.

“A man (Imran Khan) roaming the roads was invited to the Supreme Court for justice, which ultimately led to my ousting. Why was this injustice done to the country?” Mr Sharif questioned.

On the issue of soaring electricity bills, Mr Sharif acknowledged the financ­ial burden on the populace. “No one can pay the electricity bill; it has become a burden on everyone. By 2017, bills were lower, and so was the dollar rate. Since 2018, the poor have suffered greatly,” he noted, promising his party would take all possible measures to provide relief to citizens.
