powerful accused who includes Managing Director of Toyota Indus Motor Company Ali S Habib and chief of

Toyota Japan Motors.   “I have come to know through a very authentic source that Ali S Habib has approached

Pakistan. When the honorable Supreme Court has given the factual position of the case and its facts and has

allowed adjudicate the case under the Rule of Law. If this is done in this awkward way and the people of Pakistan

are suffering from the criminal negligence of manufacturing substandard SRS Air Bag system and a Hell of

money is charged by the manufacturing companies and corporations, then where the people of Pakistan will go to

have justice,” Dr Sher Afgan Niazi questioned.
