The best Twitter reactions to the Supreme Court's Panama verdict

Here's what Pakistanis had to say online

Updated 20 Apr, 2017

A year after the Panama Leaks and five months after the Supreme Court hearing on the Panama case, the Supreme Court passed a judgement this afternoon stating that "a thorough investigation is required" into allegations of corruption by the Sharif family.

Taking this as a victory, the Sharif family is already [celebrating][2].

Because, well, Pakistan. Here's what Pakistanis had to say online:

1) Think the verdict is a joke? Haha. We have more where that came from

2) We are all Imran Khan/Gormint Aunty right now.

3) In the words of Sahir Lodhi, who gives you that right to differentiate? Who are you to decide? Are you some kind of demi-god?

4) When you're at a loss for words...

5) Post-verdict we got Salman Ahmad in the house...

6) ...and a gulab jaman in the mouth.

7) Guess it's good to be ready to celebrate... just in case:

8) Some are already thinking about our future generations

Frédéric Bastiat, who said: "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

@Farid Lodhi That is a really good quote. Will use someday.

really? Apr 20, 2017 07:55pm

@SAQIB FARID Justice Khosa did. His dissent note has been published in this same newspaper.

We will remember this decision not for twenty years but for Centuries. What a shock! Have no word to express.

Very pro PTI! A little subtlety would have been nice, DAWN

Gulab Jamun has stuck neither in nor out. Face the sweet of your sowing.

@Farid Lodhi So true.

Muhammad Munir Apr 20, 2017 11:30pm

Loved the gulab jamin in the mouth picture. He is celebrating not sure about the exact outcome.

@Farid Lodhi you nailed it

Uzair Apr 21, 2017 04:31am

@Farid Lodhi Nicely summarised...

@Farid Lodhi so you just wanted to show off by putting a fancy name there. Its such simple verdict, you don't need fancy names.

Sughra Saifuddin Apr 21, 2017 07:19am

A few more brilliants like Justice Khosa rise soon and the Sharifs are down the drain for good. Bravo! Mr. Khosa Shame! Sharifs

This is great both parties are happy about the decision and are distributing sweets. However general public is confused.

Simple JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED

Aamer Apr 21, 2017 01:47pm

I dont get it why are they celebrating, the case hasn't been decided yet. It will come back to the court after 2 months. 2 judges already gave a verdict against the Prim Minister the other 3 didn't vote in his favour either.

Gulab jaman at 1:59:59 pm.

Best comment by Sh. Rasheed; " Pappoo who has failed in 2 papers is declared pass".

Those who are not sincere to their profession do things like this.
