Ex-CJPs are “unwilling to investigate conspiracy,” according to law minister

Azam Nazir Tarar, the law minister, revealed on Thursday that two former chief justices of Pakistan turned down the offer to lead the commission of inquiry into foreign conspiracy, citing the fact that PTI chairman Imran Khan will never accept its findings. He described the Supreme Court’s judgement on the National Assembly deputy speaker’s ruling from July 13 as landmark and historic.

Two former Pakistani chief justices declined the opportunity to head the commission of inquiry into foreign conspiracy, according to the law minister Azam Nazir Tarar, who made the revelation on Thursday. They did so because they believed PTI chairman Imran Khan would never agree to the commission’s conclusions. He referred to the Supreme Court’s opinion on the National Assembly deputy speaker’s July 13 decision as historic and landmark.

According to law minister Azam Nazir Tarar, who made the announcement on Thursday, two former Pakistani chief justices turned down the opportunity to lead the commission of inquiry into foreign conspiracy. They did so because they expected PTI chairman Imran Khan to reject the commission’s findings. He described the Supreme Court’s decision on the National Assembly deputy speaker’s decision on July 13 as historic and landmark. He said they are ready to cooperate with the court in case it decides to constitute the commission since they own the letter.

He went on to say that the Supreme Court itself stated in its decision that it did not find the allegations serious, and that the court chose not to get involved because it was a political question, especially since the former government provided no evidence to substantiate the allegations.

Meanwhile, Mr Kaira stated that the court decision established that the PTI’s narrative of foreign conspiracy was a plot against the people of Pakistan and its democratic institutions. He did, however, extend an olive branch to Imran Khan, saying that while he may continue to hold public protests against the current government or attempt to destabilise it through democratic means by introducing a similar vote of no-confidence, he should consider joining mainstream politics rather than continue to malign and attack institutions or instil politics of hatred and chaos.

Additionally, Mr. Kaira asked that the PTI chairman select any judge of his choosing so that an appropriate inquiry commission could be established and he would have no choice but to accept the investigation’s findings. He emphasised that in addition to the Supreme Court ruling exposing the truth of the foreign conspiracy thesis, the National Security Committee (NSC) had rejected the conspiracy narrative. Indeed, Imran Khan’s four-year term was a disaster for the nation as he utterly failed to keep even one promise he made to the populace. The current administration was forced to make difficult choices like raising petroleum and energy prices in order to prevent default or the nation from setting a second example after Sri Lanka because Imran Khan refused to pay the price for the welfare of the nation.

The deputy speaker disregarded the motion of no confidence against the then-prime minister in bad faith, and Imran Khan showed excessive haste in advising the president to dissolve the National Assembly at that point, the law minister said, regretting that the president did not also apply his mind to dissolve the National Assembly immediately.

Azam Tarar emphasized the judgment from July 13 was unanimous among the five members of the Supreme Court, however, two of them appended a note to the effect that Article 5 of the constitution, which requires devotion to the State, had been broken.

Senior law enforcement and interior authorities as well as human rights minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada, minister of maritime affairs Faisal Sabzwari, minister of science and technology Agha Hassan Baloch, and others attended the meeting.
