Re: Zardari offers Balochistan Governorship to the EX CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry.
**** *“I appreciate the president’s move (of filing a reference) against Justice Chaudhry. This step should have been taken much earlier. He used to act autocratically when he was the chief justice of the Balochistan High Court. He overtly formulated and backed a lobby of privileged lawyers against former Baloch Chief Justice Amir-ul-Mulk Mengal. He was not free in making decisions. He used to take dictations from politicians.” Tareen said he himself had been sacked from the post of sessions judge in Noshaki district by Justice Chaudhry. “I was then a member of the Pakistan People’s Party and Nawaz Sharif, the former prime minister, dictated Justice Chaudhry to fire me,” he added. *
“The settlers constitute a minor proportion of Balochistan’s population but they hold 90 percent posts of judges and lawyers in the province. They don’t tolerate the Baloch. Even when 10 Baloch sessions and additional sessions judges were recently inducted, Justice Chaudhry billed it intolerable and demanded an inquiry into the matter by Justice Javed Iqbal and Justice Raja Fayyaz,” alleged Sadiq Raisani, the Baloch Bar Association president.
If this is how the EX CJ behaved towards the Balochi people, then I don't see him getting the governor position easily.
