ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday said Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan’s press conference in response to the judicial commission’s report on Quetta attack was “tantamount to attack on the Supreme Court of Pakistan”.
Talking to reporters outside Bani Gala residence of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, following a meeting of PTI’s parliamentary committee, Qureshi said the issue of Panamagate and Nisar’s response to the judicial commission’s report were discussed in the party meeting.
Qureshi said that the report was compiled by a sitting judge of the SC, who was assigned the task by a three member-bench of the apex court. He added that the judge filed the 110-page report after conducting investigations over a span of 54 days. “The government tried its level best to keep the report off the record but as everyone knows, Justice Qazi Faez Esa is a man of principles,” he said.
He said that Justice Esa presented the reported after enough deliberation but Nisar said that he would challenge the report and that the report is ‘unilateral’.
