LAHORE: Supreme Court Bar Association former president Asma Jahangir said on Wednesday if judges wanted to do politics, they should contest election.
Talking to media persons in the Lahore High Court, she said parliament, not the judiciary, was supreme in the country.
The judiciary should not consider itself as 'all-knowledgeable', she added.
She said the judiciary had always given its approval to military rules in the past.
Ms Jahangir said she had reservations on many decisions of the Supreme Court.
The judiciary too had been disregarding decisions of parliament, she said, while pointing out annulment of parliamentary committee's decisions on judges' appointment.
To a media query, she, however, said the government should implement the SC judgments.
She expressed her 'inability' to understand SC's Jan 10 judgment on NRO non-implementation. She said the NRO was a complicated issue, and that she never favoured it.
She regretted that the state institutions were being politicised, and hastened to add that no institution was clean.
Ms Jahangir advised the government to deliver to people and the judiciary not to get stuck on NRO issue but take up thousands of other cases pending for long.
She said everybody would obey SC decisions if it stayed away from politics.
About role of the Muslim League-Nawaz in the present political situation, Ms Jahangir said it was the same party which attacked the Supreme Court.
