Justice retired Fakhruddin G Ibrahim on Wednesday refused to be part of six-member independent commission announced by the government to investigate the US operation in Abbottabad that led to killing of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden last month.
As per deatails, Fakhruddin G Ibrahim wrote a letter to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani wherein expressed his inability to be part of the commission.
According to sources, he had some reservation over the composition of the commission, adding that he was even not informed by the government before inclusion of his name in the commission. Fakhruddin G Ibrahim also had reservation that opposition parties were not taken into confidence before forming the commission.
Meanwhile, Justice Javed Iqbal showed his willingness to lead the inquiry commission saying that permission of the Chief Justice of Pakistan would be required to accept this position.
Any man with the credibility and standing of Fakhruddin G Ibraheem would hesitate to be part of a commission set up without consensus, a time frame and terms of reference. Even the head of this commission has been appointed in an irregular manner without prior consultation of Chief Justice Of pakistan. There is a serious credibility gap as far as appointment of Nadeem Ahmed former chairman of ERRA is concerned. It seems there is an illwill on the part of those who have formed this Commission.
