Karachi, May 19, 2023 (PPI-OT): It has become abundantly clear that there exists a stark difference in dispensation of justice. It was denied to Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed; however, relief is being granted today to different individuals by the same courts. We are reminded of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the lack of justice in the case of late Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, where her killers were ultimately granted relief, Ms. Shazia Marri said in a statement issued today.
Madam spokesperson further stated that, what is disheartening is the contrasting treatment received by those involved in similar cases. We witness the individual responsible for the embezzlement of Rs. 60 billion being welcomed as an honoured guest in the Supreme Court. It is perplexing to comprehend how a person with such allegations against him can be greeted with such honours.
It is a matter of great concern that the court now claims that it is not possible for one person to attend so many cases simultaneously. However, we must remember that Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, in her pursuit of justice, appeared in courts across Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore. She tirelessly attended to her duties as a public servant while navigating the challenges of multiple legal proceedings. One cannot help but wonder why a woman was never given the opportunity to tend to her sick mother or fulfill other important responsibilities instead of facing court hearings daily.
The federal minister further stated that we find it deeply troubling that former President Asif Ali Zardari was brought to court in armoured vehicle while today luxury cars are being used to bring the blue eyed to courts. It is alarming to witness the disparity in treatment. Today, arrested individuals are being kept in guest houses instead of jails. The double standard of justice is not only concerning but also reprehensible. The principles of fairness and equality before the law should guide our judicial system.
