Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Nisar Ali Khan on Sunday vehemently opposed the prime minister’s mandated judicial commission to probe the Bhoja Airline crash and hinted at challenging it before the Supreme Court.
Addressing a press conference at the Punjab House, Nisar said the formation of the judicial commission was without the consultation of the chief justice of Pakistan.
“PCO judges are members of the investigation commission that is why it cannot be termed a judicial commission,” he opined.
He said every controversial person had connection with President Asif Ali Zardari and the persons included in the commission were remnants of Pervez Musharraf.
“Prime Minister Gilani and his party is trying to conceal the reality and playing with people’s emotions,” he said, adding, “The government is suppressing all facts behind the Abbottabad raid, Mehran base attack, Hajj scam and others. It is only free in doing corruption.”
He said the PML-N would take up the issue in parliament, adding that the government had invented new ways of doing corruption and hiding it.
Expressing grief over the Bhoja tragedy, he said the people who were involved in the incident had been favourites of the government and opined that the government was not showing seriousness into the investigation of such a big tragedy that took more than 120 precious lives.
The tragedy would have not occurred if the government had taken safety measures after the Airblue plane crash, he lamented.
To a query regarding international cricket’s restoration in the country, he said other teams would come to tour Pakistan if the government maintained peace in the country.
