In another episode of maligning the judiciary, Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Senator Faisal Raza Abidi hurled fiery allegations at Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
Addressing a press conference, the candid Senator demanded a resignation from the chief justice and other judges who were reinstated under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO).
He also claimed that Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was responsible for the alleged financial impropriety done by his son, Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar. “If the chief justice does not tender a resignation, then I will force him out from the same way he had been restored as a judge,” he added.
He further said that the chief justice claimed that he didn’t have any idea where his son got all that money from. Did he asked him where he go Rs900 million from when the case emerged, the Senator questioned?
While producing bank account statements of Dr Arsalan, Abidi said that the person who used to work under somebody else now owns billions of rupees. He also showed that the billing address mentioned was that of the Chief Justice House in Islamabad.
He asked, “You [Justice Chaudhry] are to be blamed for this. This happened right in front of you. You cannot pretend to not know anything. Who gave Dr Arsalan the right to use government’s property for running his own businesses? Could he not rent out an office in some other area?”
Faisal Raza Abidi vowed that he would now personally investigate about Dr Arsalan’s assets and will also fly to Dubai and London to inquire about his international bank accounts. “I will probe into the accounts he has activated under the name of mamu.”
The Senator was of the opinion that the Parliament is supreme and is above other institutions. “Parliament forms laws and constitutions. Who gave you the right to criticise and meddle in its affairs?”
Abidi asserted, “I accept your challenge in the war you have waged against the parliament. But mine is not a war of arms, but is a war of words, because Pakistan cannot afford agitation at this moment as it is already going through tough times.”
