During a session of the Senate, Leader of the Opposition, PPP’s Aitzaz Ahsan said that report of the judicial commission was equivalent to a ‘charge-sheet’ and ‘First Information Report’ against Chaudhry Nisar.
The senator claimed that Chaudhry Nisar was held responsible by the report for the security lapse. He asserted that the report was a source of embarrassment for the Interior Minister.
Aitzaz Ahsan alleged that Nisar convened meetings with leader of a banned outfit and allowed banned organisations of rallying the federal capital.
On the other hand, Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly (NA), Khurshid Shah said that commission’s report had validated PPP’s stance and warned that successes achieved under Operation Zarb-e-Azb were likely to go in vain if Nisar continued with the same mindset.
It is pertinent to mention that an attack in Civil Hospital of Quetta on August 8, 2016 had claimed over 70 lives, mostly lawyers who had gathered to mourn killing of President of Balochistan Bar Association, Bilal Anwar Kasi the same morning.
