The Ex-chief justice of Pakistan Justice, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry decided to launched own political party.
Former CJP addressing press conference said “I am launching my own political party,”
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) alleged former CJP of helping Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) rigging general elections held on May 11, 2013.
Former CJP further said “By declaring the polls just and legal, the inquiry commission has vindicated the honour of entire judiciary including me,”
In his turbulent eight-year stint, during which he defied and outplayed the military ruler Musharraf, terminated a prime minister and changed the Supreme Court’s role from political pawn to power player, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, 67, retired as Pakistan’s chief justice in December 2013.
He left a supreme court that has now proved able to call even the country’s powerful generals to account. But he also polarized public debate, drawing accusations that he had become a power-drunk crusader who brought an elected Pakistani government to the brink of collapse. (PhotoNews/Agencies)
