Judges and politicians

It is very difficult to make any comment on the behaviour of the politicians about the highest court of the republic. This is neither civil nor conducive to dispensation of justice.
I am talking about the behaviour and comments of the politicians about the system of judiciary and its operational weaknesses. We also see that the courtroom is invaded by huge numbers of lawyers flanked by unruly mob and supporters making the hearing extremely difficult.
We have heard a high ranking political party leader making allegation that the highest courts have been made a party office of the government and are dictating the terms of justice. This particular comment or observation is highly damaging for the moral of the judges, and most likely they are being forced to handle a particular case looking at the face of the politicians and not reviewing the entire process of the judgment as per law.
Before the issue becomes confrontational, the politicians must stop their unruly behaviour and refrain from making derogatory comments about the judges or judiciary.
The HC has already issued a ruling about the rules to be made about the "selection of judges procedures". Why not spend the political force and energy to make a rule which provides full transparency, quality and experience needed to be a judge of the highest court ? This is the bigger priority than a political rally to press for a neutral system of judiciary. Judiciary by definition is neutral. We need to allow them to operate without being intimidated, threatened or making changes to suit any particular political need.
Be respectful to the nation. Be respectful to the judiciary and allow them to work without fear or favour as the oath of the justice dictates.
