Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar has once again taken lead by taking a sou motu notice of an incident that caused an uproar on social media.
On Thursday, a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) minister from Gilgit-Baltistan manhandled a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) official over a delayed flight.
A video, that went viral on social media shows the minister, along with a couple of men, arguing with a uniformed man who apparently was a PIA official (some sources have identified him as the Arrival In-Charge).
GB’s tourism minister Fida Hussain did not keep it to that but also set off a fire in the vicinity of Islamabad Airport as part of the protest.
