He further said that as per claims of former chief judge, the matters have reached so low that Saqib Nisar even tried to influence bail proceeding of PMLN leadership.

He said that like Rana Shamim, former CJP Saqib Nisar should also submit an affidavit and give record. He said that allegations have been leveled against a former chief justice.
