**At last an ordinary citizen is doing what the government should be doing, but you cannot blame the govt they are too busy trying to protect PM’s family from the looted wealth revelations. They dont have time for such trivial matters.
LAHORE: A property developer summoned by ‘Shariat Court’ of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) on a complaint regarding a monetary dispute has moved the Lahore High Court, seeking action against Qazi (judge) of the organisation’s ‘court’ for running a parallel judicial system.
Khalid Saeed of Samanabad has made interior secretary, federal law minister, Punjab chief secretary, Punjab IG, Lahore CCPO and Qazi Hafiz Idrees of JuD parties in the petition filed through Advocate Maqbool Hussain Sheikh. Related: JuD sets up ‘sharia court’ in Lahore
The petitioner says he received summons written on the letter pad of ‘Darul Qaza Al-Sharia’ Jamat-ud-Dawa, Masjid Al-Qadsia, Chauburji, Lahore, with a direction to appear before its ‘arbitration court of Sharia’.
He says the summons was issued to him on the complaint of Muhammad Azam.
The summons warned that in case of non-appearance no excuse would be considered and the petitioner would be proceeded against in accordance with Sharia law, the petition stated.
He alleged that he also received telephone calls from the JuD “court” Qazi in “threatening tone”, asking him to appear before him.
He said that applications were submitted to the government functionaries (respondents) and Chief Justice of Pakistan against the illegal summons but remained unanswered.
The petitioner urged the court to order the respondent authorities to look into the matter and take action against the organisation for committing illegal acts and for subverting the Constitution by establishing a parallel judicial system.
Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan issued notices to the respondents for April 26.

Nope the civilian security won't touch them nor allow the military operation against them. If Gen Bajwa's recent interview is something more than just a slap on PMLN's darling Rana Sanaullah, then I hope Military literally walks all over the Punjab Government, and launches an operation in Punjab.
PMLN and their supporters are only concerned about filling their bellies with Pakistan's looted wealth. They want their pathetic party to take credit for military operation all over Pakistan, but go all defensive and territorial when it comes to Punjab.
Why not simply dissolve the dysfunctional government, dysfunctional judiciary, dysfunctional police? They are all just sitting looting nation, they eat up 60% of budget and hardly produce 5% worth of budget, all busy scratching each other's backs.
When will Shahbaz wake up from his slumber?
Can PMLN's rep @desertbird justify lack of action by his government?
After all, this is an important "development" too!

U mean taking action against the "assets", civil govt may not go home for corruption charges but certainly go home if they even lay a finger on the "assets"...
