Dr Arsalan case: British journalist denies contacting anyone

203

Terming media reports as “made up”, British journalist Christina Lamb denied having contacted anyone regarding the financial impropriety case against Dr Arsalan Iftikhar, the son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
Earlier, media reports had claimed that the chief of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz, had approached Lamb — the Washington bureau chief of Sunday Times — to “break the news” about the scandal when the chief justice was scheduled to come to receive the International Jurists Award-2012.
The reports further claimed that this move was planned to “bring a bad name” to the chief justice and might also force him to resign.
However, in her tweet on Sunday, she said: christinalamb ?@christinalamb, any purported quotes from me on CJ issue are made up, all I know is what I’ve read in the media and have spoken to no one!
Following media reports that Dr Arsalan had received between Rs300 and Rs400 million from Malik Riaz to influence judicial proceedings, the chief justice had taken a suo moto notice and had summoned him and Bahria Town’s chief.
Malik Riaz, however, did not appear before the court and a personal staff officer had informed the court that he was in the United Kingdom, undergoing medical treatment.

    “THRICE OSTED FROM NAB ON DEPUTATION FROM NBP KAUSAR IQBAL MALIK JOINED NAB ON 25 APRIL 2012 AS DG FCIW & HR AGAINIST SUPERIEM COURT RULLING”
    Instead of appointing independent officials in the NATIONAL ACCOUNTIBILITY BAREAU and FIA, as decreed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the PPP government has appointed trusted favourites to run key departments and protect the interests of the high and mighty.

    Sources said a trusted man of the rulers and a Petarian Kausar Iqbal Malik has been re- appointed fourth time on 25 April 2012 as Director General Operations FCIW and HR despite strong reservations within NAB over his appointment for the fourth time. Malik is not an employee of NAB and have no experience of investigating white collar crimes, a simple banker, who has been attached with the NAB for more the five years and ousted thrice and continues to draw salary from the bank he originally belongs to. Despite this, he has been given this most important position. Chief Justice should take action to the institutions which are becoming personal property of powerful people in power.

  6. but 1 leader is there in pakistan, who will restore the actual democracy. and he is imran khan. last hope for pakistani nation.

  7. Auqaf Department Chief Administrator Abdul Rehman Channa was kidnapped and his staff was assaulted on January 29 when he allegedly refused to obey the orders of the Sindh government to issue funds to PPP legislators and appoint 73 officials in his department. Similarly, a report in a local Urdu daily read that the railways authorities in Peshawar have conducted written test for the recruitment against 33 vacant posts of junior assistants (train), and 1,572 candidates participated in it. Taking serious notice of the above actions, the ECP has asked the Cabinet Division secretary; Ministry of Railways secretary, and the Sindh chief secretary to offer their comments in this regard within the next seven days.

  8. like these incidents in the country will go on as Drama Qadri has given long traditions to the people of Pakistan.Such dramas like Qadri must be discouraged as such IBNUL WAQT PEOPLE tries to make the innocent people fool. The current government is also involved in this drama.
