ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Friday took notice of the alleged misbehaviour of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Tourism Minister Fida Hussain at the Islamabad International Airport.

According to media reports, the incident took place over a flight delay due to bad weather.

A video clip, which went viral on media, showed the minister pushing the arrival in-charge at the airport so hard that the latter stumbled.

The chief justice issued notices to both the minister and the official, asking them to appear at the Supreme Court, Lahore Registry, on Saturday (today).
