SC has had enough of FC

Severely annoyed by the antics and a recent news conference by Frontier Corps Inspector General Major General Ubaidullah Khattak, Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Monday said the court would be compelled to summon the army chief under Article 190 if no concrete steps were taken by the FC to mend its ways in Balochistan.
A three-member SC bench comprising Justice Chaudhry, Justice Jawwad S Khwaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain resumed hearing into the Balochistan missing persons’ case on Monday, with the CJP expressing anger over a news conference held by the FC IG. The CJP said Khattak’s press conference was in violation of court orders and a uniformed general had no business holding such an event.
He ordered the video of the press conference be produced before the court, adding that the recording would be sent to the army chief and the defence secretary. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said the court could pass an order under Article 190 for summoning Army Chief General Ashfaq Kayani and ask him what he could do to resolve the
Balochistan quagmire. “Time has come to summon someone with authority.” He said the province could not be left in a lurch as it was the heart of the country being its most important component.The chief justice said whoever provided evidence against the FC turned up dead and the killing of more than 20 people in Balochistan in the past few days was alarming.
Justice Chaudhry said the court wanted to know what was the role of the constitutional government in the prevalent situation in Balochistan.
Justice Khawaja said some 835 incidents had occurred but no one had been apprehended. “We are neither the enemy of the agencies nor the agencies are our enemy, we are ready to give credit, but they must perform,” he added.
Attorney General Irfan Qadir said had there been no efforts, the situation would have been much worse. He said 23 missing persons had been recovered.
The CJP said parliamentarian Sadiq Umrani had been witness to FC rounding up two men.
Addressing the agencies’ lawyer, Raja Irshad, the chief justice said, “Try the accused, don’t murder them.”
Irshad told the court that the FC IG’s press conference was held to highlight the acts of foreign agencies, but the chief justice said if foreign agencies were present in Balochistan, the responsibility to deal with them lay with the federal government.
Irshad said foreign agencies were targeting the FC and so was the SC.To this, the CJP said a video had showed an FC vehicle involved in abduction and under such circumstances, why should the FC chief not be considered responsible for the same.
Irshad asked the court to withdraw the FC from Balochistan. The court, however, said it was for the government to decide.

    • 100 % Agree with you. He used his son as a front man. To the surprise he didnt know how , when & where his son become millionaire. Chief Justice stop playing now with the nation.

      • hey Sana! and u pseudo-liberal confused Jaials shd stop dictating us as well! WHy dunno you leave Pakistan now that ur Jiala Prime minister has given the instructions in his latest interview!!

        • Alonginlonelyplanet, you cannot get through to such people. They are truly deaf, dumb & blind… and idiots.

  1. Honorable CJ no solution except for this in the prevailing country situation. Plz Hurry whether its late.

  2. isnt it too late ???????????????????????

    When the nation has crossed the verge of disappointment and now they all are drowned in it. THIS CALL IS TOO LATE SIR

    • Perhapes, you think he s calling army chief to take over. He is calling him in the court to answer for missing persons in Balochistan.

      • Graze keep on grazing. The news is very clear and you did not read it. It is a mental corrution to comment a news item without reading it. Mental corruption is the mother of financial corruption.

      • Mind ur language. You r stupid and blind and r commenting without reading newspaper. Being a Grazer you r unable to understand human matters.

  3. I demand that Iftikhar resign and present himself before a Parliamentary Committee for investigation into graft allegations. The only importance of Arsalan is that he is son of Iftikhar and this is why he is milking people left and right. Morally, Pakistan is without a Chief Justice.

    • Your reading comprehension is very poor. He is calling Army Chief to answer for missing persons in Balochistan. He is not calling him to take over the govt. Dont be happy and read the news properly.

  4. SIR, PLEASE CALL FOR GEN. KIYANI AND YOU COULD HAVE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS IN FUTURE…

  5. A lot of commenters here did not read this news item and started posting their comments. This is our national habit. We start crying over everything without probing. CJ has called army chief not to remove Zardari govt., but he has said that it is time to call army chief to answer for missing persons in Balochistan, because it is alleged that certain agencies are indulged in this crime. Guys posting comments here, please, dont be happy and read this news item carefully. Also, it is not good to be happy over expectation of removal of a democratic govt. But you will be disappointed coz he wants to call him not for removing the present govt.

        • Grazar u eunuch, why do you wish death to everybody. Now a days, plastic surgery can do wonder to restore some of your manhood, so chill.

      • @ aloneinlonelyplanet! Your reading comprehension is very poor. I said try to read the news item carefully with open eyes and mind. CJ wishes to call Army Chief in the court to hold him answerable for missing persons in Balochistan, and it is only this that is mentioned in the news and nothing else. Why u become happy. You shud cry becoz CJ is calling Army Chief in his court not Gilani or Zardari. It is you who r trying to prove" Crow is white" without properly reading the news item itself. Use your eyes and mind and read the news carefully. The news very clear, but your mind seems to be shut off due to anti-PPP syndrome. and you are unable mentally to read the news properly.

        • Dont worry about alone in lonely planet. As his name suggests he is the only one who thinks the way he thinks. He is a poor lonely soul.

  6. Calling kiayani is useless. The idiot has no idea about whats going on in the country. He couldn't even defend abbottabad (right next to PMA). He failed to defend GHQ from attack. He fails miserably to defend the borders of the country everyday. What answers can he give?

  7. Chain smoking Gen. Kiyani wont come to the SC as smoking is not allowed in the supreme court.

  8. Ifti would call PM thrice for a petition filed in 2011 and now would call COAS but would never call his master nawaz for pending cases against him. It is just taking the sole focus off of his sons corruption and his families too.

  9. Don't just call him, reprimand him. Unfortunately our own army is involved in the most heinous crimes against Pakistan. Bring this rascal IG FC to justice and teach him a lesson. We Pakistanis must stand up against agencies who have brought Pakistan to this point. It's not the politicians it's the generals and they must be punished severely.

  10. FC and army has also enough of you.Listening your Bull**** filmy dialogues is as annoying as it can get. Every day 15 to 20 innocent people are being murdered in Balochistan and BLA very proudly claims the responsibility.The supporters of BLA appears on T.V talk shows clearly asking for independence of Balochistan and even requesting foreign powers to help them. But this Son of ***** has never taken any suo moto action on this. None of So called baloch nationalist has ever been summoned to SC. I assume CJ was enjoying a holiday at the expense of Malik Riaz in France and Londan when terrorist blew up the FC camp killing 80 FC persons. This vacation was the reason that he could not take any notice for these killings.
