"Conference addressed by CJP and senior judges is concluding with speech by an absconder. It’s nothing but a contempt of judges and the judiciary," Chaudhry tweeted.
The federal minister later said that he has turned down the invitation to the event, held in Lahore in memory of late human rights activist and trailblazing lawyer Asma Jahangir.
"I had been invited to the Asma Jahangir Conference today. I was told that the conference will conclude with the speech of an absconder," said the minister.
Fawad went on to say that inviting Nawaz Sharif to make a speech at Asma Jahangir Conference is "tantamount to mocking the country and the constitution", therefore he has excused himself from attending the conference.
He further said that he has advised the Supreme Court Bar Association to "remain neutral".
Advised SCBA that they should remain neutral only than Lawyers can contribute! Conference addressed by CJP and senior Judges is concluding with speech by an absconder it’s nothing but a contempt of Judges and Judiciary ……
