Who is Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui?
Islamabad, Aug 25: Saeeduzzaman Siddiqui is a respected judicial figure of Pakistan who defied the orders of Pervez Musharraf after he took over the Government reins in 1999.
Being the Chief Justice of Pakistan since 1999, he was asked by Law Minister and Legal Advisor Pirzada to take a new oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) saying that "taking oath under the PCO, in my opinion, will be a deviation from the oath I had taken to defend the constitution of 1973". As a consequence of this he was forced to step down from his position.
These are the judges IMO worth restoring! Someone who has prinicples!
He has today been nominated by PML(N) chief Nawaz Sharif for the post of President of Pakistan, the elections for which are scheduled on September 6.
