Former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar denies Shehbaz Sharif's allegations of sabotaging PML-N projects. Nisar calls the accusations baseless and unfounded. Shehbaz had previously accused Nisar of blocking several development projects during his tenure as Chief Justice.

Former Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar has rejected the allegations made by PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, claiming that he was involved in sabotaging the party's projects during his tenure as the Chief Justice. In a statement issued on Friday, Nisar stated that the accusations made by Shehbaz were baseless and unfounded.

"As the Chief Justice, my role was to uphold the constitution and ensure that the rule of law was upheld at all times. Any suggestion that I acted in a partisan manner is simply untrue," Nisar said in his statement.

Shehbaz had previously accused Nisar of blocking several development projects initiated by the PML-N government during his tenure as the Chief Justice. However, Nisar dismissed these allegations, stating that as an independent judicial officer, he had no political affiliations and acted solely in accordance with the law.

Nisar's statement comes amidst growing tensions between the PML-N and the judiciary, particularly in the wake of the party's disqualification of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The PML-N has accused the judiciary of being biased against the party, while the judiciary has maintained that it is simply upholding the law.

“I categorically reject the allegations made by Shehbaz Sharif that I played any role in sabotaging PML-N projects. As the Chief Justice, my role was to uphold the constitution and ensure that the rule of law was upheld at all times. Any suggestion that I acted in a partisan manner is simply untrue." - Saqib Nisar, Former Chief Justice of Pakistan”

The accusations of sabotage made by Shehbaz are particularly significant, as they suggest that the judiciary may have acted in a partisan manner during Nisar's tenure as Chief Justice. However, Nisar's denial of these allegations suggests that this may not be the case.

It remains to be seen how the PML-N will respond to Nisar's statement, and whether it will continue to press its allegations of judicial bias. The party has been under significant pressure in recent months, with several high-profile members facing corruption charges and a number of its leaders being jailed.

In the meantime, Nisar's denial of the allegations will likely be seen as a significant victory for the judiciary, which has faced criticism from some quarters over its handling of cases involving the PML-N. Whether this will help to ease tensions between the two sides, however, remains to be seen.
