Twitter supports Fawad Chaudhry after contempt of court case filed against him

A petition of contempt of court has been filed against Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry. A large number of social media users have disapproved of the petition arguing that it reflects vengeance and the inability of Justice Qazi Faiz Esa to take criticism

A petition of contempt of court has been filed against Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry. The application has been filed by the wife of Justice Qazi Faiz Esa, Serena Esa.

Chaudhry had been tweeting against the strict remarks of Justice Qazi Faiz Esa regarding the government on his official Twitter account for a few days. In his latest tweet, he had challenged Qazi Faiz Esa to shun the justice system and join politics. Adding that the electoral politics will be a litmus test of his popularity and acceptance among people.

“I have been listening to the speeches of an under-trial judge of the Supreme Court for a week now. The fight will be the measure of both popularity and acceptance,” said Fawad Chaudhry in a tweet.

Before that, he had issued another message against the continuous charged-up remarks of Justice Esa against the government.

The petition read that Fawad Chaudhry demeaned Justice Qazi Faiz Esa by calling him an ‘under-trial judge’. Adding to that, Fawad Chaudhry said that he has watched all the court proceedings of the case against Qazi Faiz Esa when, in fact, he was not present in the court. Hence, this reflects that the government has installed secret cameras in the courtroom while opposing the live broadcast of the hearings. Serena Isa demanded to suspend the Twitter account of Fawad Chaudhry along with removing him from the cabinet.

Soon after the petition was filed against him, a social media trend #IStandWithFawadChaudhary started trending on Twitter. Within a few hours, it has become the top trend on Twitter with social media users expressing solidarity with the federal minister.
