*ISLAMABAD: PM Shahid Khaqan meeting with the CJP Justice Saqib Nisar has opened a new Pandora box of Judicial NRO. *
*Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has said prime minister Nawaz Sharif was fully in confidence about his successor’s meeting with Chief Justice Saqib Nisar.*
“Shahid Khaqan Abbasi doesn’t have the political standing to meet the chief justice without Nawaz Sharif’s consent,” said Rasheed while speaking on SAMAA’s prime-time talk show ‘Nadeem Malik Live’. “Nawaz Sharif is trying hard to save himself from being convicted in corruption references. They have also tried to bribe NAB’s chairman Javed Iqbal.”
To a question, he said that there was no place for an NRO in the country as no intuition would want to put its integrity at stake.
The MNA from Rawalpindi said that he would propose names for caretaker prime minister if he was consulted. “The names which are already under consideration for the top slot cannot deliver and will prove to be worse than Najam Sethi,” he said.
The Awami Muslim League chairman further said that elections can be delayed due to delimitation. Commenting on the launch of a new political party in Balochistan, he said this was a positive development.
PPP’s Latif Khosa took a dig at Prime Minister Abbasi, saying that he was the same man who had been throwing judicial verdicts in rubbish bins.
“Abbasi is a proxy prime minister whose only mission is to save Nawaz Sharif. But the chief justice has categorically stated he will act in accordance with the law and the constitution.
To a question, he said that there was no truth in Nawaz Sharif’s statement that he was unaware of Abbasi’s meeting with the top judge.
