Rehman Malik was also present at the courts’ room, with regard to the allegations that he violated the court order by changing the investigative team probing into allegations of corruption in Pakistan Steel Mills.
Malik said he accepts the supremacy of the constitution, and that is why he appeared before the apex court.
