ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court has resumed hearing on the contempt of court case against Senator Faisal Vawda and MQM-P leader Mustafa Kamal for their verbal onslaught against judges of superior courts.

The senator raised questions about assertions made by Islamabad High Court judge Babar Sattar, adding, "Merely making accusations isn't enough; evidence must be presented in court."
He deplored that the way intelligence agencies were repeatedly mentioned, it seemed as if a state institution was being mocked.The former minister urged Justice Babar Sattar to provide proof of the alleged interference. He also called upon the Supreme Judicial Council to intervene in the issue.After Vawda’s outburst, PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry, in a presser, raised questions over the accusations laid by judges of the Islamabad High Court against the intelligence agencies.
