Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Wednesday said the recovery of missing persons remained the top priority for the Supreme Court, adding that the security forces had failed to restore peace and order in Balochistan. Hearing the Balochistan unrest case at the Supreme Court’s Quetta Registry, Chief Justice Chaudhry said the court knew what law had to do. He expressed his anguish over the attitude of the defense and federal secretaries who did not appear before the court.
“It appears from the secretaries’ attitude that they have no interest in Balochistan,” he said. Frontier Corps Inspector General Obaidullah Khattak acknowledged that the performance of law enforcement agencies in recovering missing persons was unsatisfactory. Reprimanding the FC IG, the chief justice said the province’s security situation was deteriorating by the day and judges, uniformed coast guards and members of the Shia community were being targeted and killed at will. Khattak said the court should consider the FC’s actions in the region and make a note of the sacrifices rendered by its members. “You have failed. We know what the law has to do. Give us in writing if you can’t do anything,” Justice Chaudhry said. “Who will provide relief to the people? The United Nations has taken a notice of Shia killings. Shia-Sunni killing is bringing a bad name to the country.”
The chief justice also denounced TV channels, saying what did they do except criticizing the judges. Khattak alleged that the FC was being maligned under a well-thought out plan. To this, the chief justice said much had also been said about the judiciary. Justice Khilji said a UN delegation was to arrive in Pakistan to review the situation.
time to remove FC and give guns and vehicles to CJ and his 16 amigos.
LOL, even 3 are enough …
اور جو ان پر ظلم و ناانصافی ہوئی ، اس کا حساب کون دے گا !!!!
Once these missing persons are recovered then I am optimist that recovery of dead bodies of 16 soldiers those have been beheaded some days ago, will be top priority of CJ. Until than families of those soldiers should stay at home because coming to supreme court to ask for a sou moto notice on these brutal killings is a useless thing to do.
اور جو ان پر ظلم و ناانصافی ہوئی ، اس کا حساب کون دے گا !!!!
Who issues these statements to the press?Does CJ have a PRO?If so then he is violating the code of conduct and at this level the only action is resignation or removal.
Well done, Bravo Chief Justice in taking a bold stand on missing persons. As far as the case of missing soldiers is concerned, the Chief Justice can't do anything about it. The kidnappers or abductors most likely are the ones trained by our establishment and have now gone either out of control or resenting at Military action against them.
