The apple does not fall far from the tree. The former chief justice’s illustrious son has a penchant for cars just like daddy dearest. The prodigal son, accused by a property magnate of extortion, is seen in the swankiest of restaurants in Lahore and Islamabad, brandishing Cuban cigars. He rolls in a red Ferrari, followed by security detail.
His father’s fondness for plush cars was famous. And it is n’t just cars. Reports say that renovations on his temporary abode cost the government a cool Rs7 million.

Ch Nisar is in a tight spot, given the security situation. Islamabad/Pindi were rocked by terrorist attacks after he had declared their security fool- proof.
So he decided to rely on his predecessor. No, not to pick his brain for experience but to shift the blame. Rehman Malik made money in the acquisition of sensor equipment and cut corners. Malik shot back an answer that has left Nisar reeling: We never bought the said equipment; it was a gift from the Chinese government.
That’s one Chakri politician, served with a side of fries and a Coke.
