He expressed his views while talking to this correspondent at the Quran khwani of slain civil judge Asif Mehmood Cheema here on Sunday.
He said the judiciary had suffered an irreparable loss by the killing of three honest and dedicated judges besides injuries to four other judges due to unprofessional attitude of the police.
