IHC requests law ministry to remove judge Arshad Malik after video controversy
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday requested the law ministry to remove accountability court judge Arshad Malik over the video controversy.
Earlier in the day, the judge had written a letter to the IHC refuting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz’s allegations and a videopurportedly showing the judge admitting to lack of evidence against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Last week, the PML-N had released a video clip of the so-called judge video scandal allegedly embroiling Malik in a press conference by party leaders.
The video purportedly shows Malik speaking to Nasir Butt, a PML-N worker, claiming that he was coerced to hand down the prison sentence against Sharif despite there being no proof of corruption against the deposed premier.
