ISLAMABAD - Former chief justice of Pakistan Justice (r) Iftikhar Chaudhry has responded over the baseless allegations leveled by the PTI Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry.
Former CJP rejected reports of alleged involvement of his son-in-law in the Eden Housing scams. He is neither director nor a share holder in the said project, he said.
Arsalan Iftikhar in an exclusive interview with our correspondent has revealed that neither he nor his sister are involved in the said case in either way.
He further revealed that his brother in law Murtaza Amjad is a Canadian national and has not been the director or the share holder in the housing society.
Earlier on Wednesday, Justice (r) Iftikhar Chaudhry’s son-in-law Murtaza Amjad was arrested from Dubai in a case regarding the multi-billion Eden Housing Society scam, which was termed as a “breakthrough” by the Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry.
Iftikhar Chaudhry insisted that Amjad had nothing to do with the Eden Housing scam as “he holds Canadian citizenship and does not come to Pakistan”. He alleged that the PTI government was “spreading propaganda” against him because he had challenged Prime Minister Imran Khan’s election in court.
The former chief justice further said that the high courts in Islamabad and Peshawar had already issued notices to PM Khan and he was also considering to file a disqualification case against the premier in an election tribunal.
Terming Fawad Chaudhry’s statements, who said the former chief justice had given “relief” to the owners of the housing society because they were the in-laws of his daughter, as lies and warned that he would file a case against the minister under Article 62.
