KARACHI: Justice (rtd) Tariq Mehmood condemned the manhandling of former MNAs Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi in Lahore in strong words. Talking to Geo News, he said this is the blackest day of his life and it should be condemned as much as possible, adding lawyer movement is old-dated, as it was waged also in Ayub Khan’s time. He continued, ‘However, today is the most black and shameful day of my life, which has caused all of us to be disgraced.’
Tariq Mehmood said manhandling Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi was extremely unethical and unconstitutional act, which should be condemned to the most. ‘The people who ill-treated Sher Afgan, actually punished us not Sher Afgan alone and destroyed our love and credibility with the people,’ he said.
‘How can we show our face; these people who manhandled Sher Afgan, cast a slur on us,’ Justice Tariq Mehmood added.
