KARACHI: Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday said some judges with a certain mindset and dictators colluded to undermine the democracy since the creation of the country.
Speaking at a seminar, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader recalled events from history that derailed the democracy.
He said whenever democracy came under attack, a fraction of judiciary sided with* dictatorships.
*Taking aim at the judiciary, he said
judges resorted to Justice Munir's doctrine of necessity whenever approached for justice.*
He said the doctrine of necessity has caused irreparable damage to democracy.
The former prime minister said not a single prime minister could complete* *his term in office over the last 70 years.
*He said elected prime ministers of the country were hanged and tried for hijacking* but the
dictators who violated the constitution were not held accountable.
The PMLN leader said it was the first time in 2014 when dictator* Pervez Musharraf was brought* into the dock.*
He said though Musharraf didn't stand trial, he still is scared of returning to the country.
