ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday said Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan’s press conference in response to the judicial commission’s r
eport on Quetta attack was “tantamount to attack
on the Supreme Court of Pakistan”.
Talking to reporters outside Bani Gala residence of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, following a meeting of PTI’s parliamentary committee, Qureshi said the issue of Panamagate and Nisar’s response to the judicial commission’s r
eport were discussed in the party meeting.
Qureshi said that the r
eport was compiled by a sitting judge
of the SC, who was assigned the task by a three member-bench
of the apex court. He added that the judge filed the 110-page r
eport after conducting investigations over a span of
54 days. “The government tried its level best to keep the r
eport off the record but as everyone knows, Justice Qazi Faez Esa is a man of principles,” he said.
He said that Jus
tice Esa presented the reported after enough deliberation but Nisar said that he would challenge the r
eport and that the r
eport is ‘unilateral’.
