    Unprepared lawyers in live Supreme Court proceedings unleash Pakistani Twitter at its best

    The live transmission of the Supreme Court’s (SC) full bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qaez Faez Isa on Monday has led to social media blitz of memes.

    Delighted viewers got to see a Supreme Court hearing for the first time, and they did not hold back on jokes.

    Lawyers, particularly Khawaja Tariq Rahim, came under particular scrutiny, and the internet was not particularly impressed with his arguments, or lack thereof.

    We have gathered the best of the internet’s comments on proceedings, judges’ remarks and lawyers’ arguments.

    One user used a meme about what lawyers think they do, what public thinks lawyers do and what lawyers actually do.

    Another user tweeted a meme what CJP Isa might have said to Advocate Khawaja Tariq Rahim.

  • ‘Ennu koyi bahir thokay’: Ex-CJP Saqib Nisar and Khawaja Rahim’s alleged audio leak about Maryam Nawaz

    Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar and former Governor and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s lawyer, Khawaja Tariq Rahim’s alleged audio leak has surfaced on the internet.

    In the alleged audio clip both Nisar and Rahim are talking about Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz.

    The transcript of audio is as follows;

    Nisar: Asalam o alikum sir.

    Rahim: Waalikum Aasalaam, Sir we need to … need … need… to give a proper answer. We should file a case against her what she says. This woman [Maryam Nawaz] who speaks.

    Nisar: Sir I have thought something for her.

    Rahim: Yes, yes.

    Nisar: I recalled the words of the elder Tarar Saab. He used to say that when dogs bark some people stand afar.

    Rahim: This is also okay. You have given a good answer to ARY.

    Nisar then went on to praise himself and said that he thankfully is very courageous, and can bear anything. He further adds that he will not get confused or go in depression.

    Nisar: Whenever I need you for help, I will ask.

    Rahim: You just have to tell me and I will do accordingly.

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemning the audio tweeted, “Society, especially women, should strongly condemn this speech and abusive thinking about women. Only collective condemnation can stop this negative thinking in the society.”
