ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Retired Captain Muhammad Safdar Awan, a prominent opposition figure and son-in-law of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, launched a scathing attack on the country’s judicial system, stating that governance becomes impossible under current circumstances.
“The judiciary is not under anyone’s control; sometimes it is not even under its own control,” Safdar said during a public appearance, according to local media reports.
The remarks come amid ongoing political tensions in Pakistan, where questions about judicial independence and institutional autonomy have become increasingly contentious topics in national discourse.
Safdar, a vocal critic of the current establishment and a senior leader in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has frequently spoken out on issues of governance and institutional balance.
The statement reflects broader concerns among opposition politicians about the role of various institutions in Pakistan’s political landscape.
