2014-05-07 |
[DAWN] Former chief justice of Pakistain Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Tuesday rejected the rigging accusations made against him by Pakistain Tehreeak-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan![]() ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... , terming them as 'baseless', DawnNews reported. The former chief justice said that Returning Officers (ROs) for the 2013 elections were appointed by the Election Commission of Pakistain and not by him. He added that the 'absurd' allegations hurled by the PTI chief did not warrant a response. Earlier in May, PTI chief Imran Khan had openly criticised the former chief justice and the Jang/Geo group for their alleged involvement in the rigging during the 2013 polls. Khan had asked the current chief justice to take notice of how, with the support of former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, this powerful media house had 'stolen' the general elections in favour of one party. |
