The government has withdrawn the notification about the elevation of Chief Justice of Lahore High Court as Supreme Court judge.
On the recommendation of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, two permanent judges and one ad-hoc judge have been appointed to the Supreme Court.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said the current tension between judiciary and government has now ended.
Earlier, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry met Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani at the Prime Minister House.
The meeting continued for more than 2 hours, which was also attended by Supreme Court Registrar Dr Faqir Khokhar and Law Secretary Aqil Mirza.
Following the meeting, Prime Minister Gilani told media the government has decided to elevate Justice Saqib Nisar and Justice Asif Khosa to the Supreme Court of Pakistan, while Justice Khalil Ramday will be appointed as an ad-hoc judge in the apex court for a period of one year.
He said Justice Khawaja Sharif will continue to work as the Chief Justice of Lahore High Court.
Gilani said the decision has been taken in the best interest of nation, country, political forces and the democratic system.
Premier Gilani said: “We have held a meeting with the Chief Justice of Pakistan as part of a consultative process according to the Constitution.”
To a question, he said the decision has full backing of President Asif Ali Zardari. “I and President Zardari are part of one party,” he commented.
About appointment of judges in Lahore High Court and Singh High Court, he said that notification would be issued today, while all vacant slots would be filled.
Either it is the eye wink from Bush on Gilani’s US Tour as PM or his words in US senate committe which opened US senators eye wide with shock and also embarassed all sitting Pakistani diplomats and journalists …..OR his stupid remarks and then U turn today… This guy is an Idiot and he fully deserves to be PM of Pakistan because thats kind of peopels are in our political systems… Makhdooms/Pir/Maulana/Chaudhry/Mian Sahib/Wadereys … unless this bunch of loony tunes is cleared our generals will keep trying adventures…
Anyway This Prime Minister has embarassed a PM designation so many time which is record breaking.. and I guess this idiot has no clue what the hell he is doing… Only reason he is there becasue he can play buddy game with Nawaz Sharif for Zardari as Zardari’s punjabi is not good enough..
Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot = = = = Makhdoom Gilani (Sadly he is our prime Minister)
I really feel disgrace for my self to comment about the the present setup of PPP.
I am a Pakhtoon and know very little Punjabi. Any how at this news this Punjabi proverb is coming to mu mind.
” Jaithay de kothi, othay de aan kaloothi”
At last the bunch of idiots surrendered before Chief Justice of Pakistan. ” LANAT HEY AISEY PM AUR SADDAR PER JO TOOKH KEY CHAT TEY HEIN ” When these both idiots and their advisors knew it that they have to bend down before the Chief Justice why they resisted. Just one day before the idiot Prime Minister has given his speech in the Assembly and shouted that Judges have been restored but they have not been approved by the idiot assembly members, so why he went as an uninvited guest in the Chief Justice party. SHAME SHAME TO YOUSUF RAZA GILLANI AND BIG SHAME SHAME TO THE BIG SCOUNDERAL ZARDARI. If both of them have little bit “GHAIRAT” they both resigned from their designation and go to hell.
In PPP — this is curse of Zardari & Rehman Malik Presence only.
