Was it an Attempt on CJ's Life?
By ANSAR ABBASI
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 2 December 2009 (The News International) - Was it
an attempt on the life of [Pakistan Supreme Court] Chief Justice
Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry or a mere goof-up by the Islamabad traffic
police?
Supreme Court Registrar Dr. Faqir Hussain says that what had happened
to the Chief Justice and his family on Monday night [30 November 2009]
was something "highly unusual" that needs to be thoroughly
investigated.
However, lawyers' leader and former spokesman for the Chief Justice
during his days of unconstitutional depositions, [Advocate] Athar
Minallah smelled a rat. He believes that the people's Chief Justice
was making certain strong circles uncomfortable and added that the
facts of the event did not lead to the conclusion that it was just an
accident.
"The people's Chief Justice obviously makes strong circles
uncomfortable," Athar Minallah said without explaining which "strong
circles" he was referring to but added: "The facts (of the incident)
do not lead to the conclusion that it was just an accident."
Talking to The News, he said: "There seems to be more to it that ought
to be investigated thoroughly."
When approached, SSP Islamabad Tahir Alam said the incident is being
thoroughly investigated and all the necessary details about the
traffic police officials involved in the incident are being gathered.
Without offering any comment whether it was a mere accident as a
result of the police goof up or a conspiracy to target the Chief
Justice, he said a joint investigation team has been constituted by
the Interior Ministry [led by PPP corrupt traitors A. Rehman Malik and
Tasneem Ahmed Qureshi] on Tuesday to probe the matter.
Regional Police Officer Rawalpindi Muhammad Aslam Tareen, when
contacted, said: "Nothing could be ruled out." He was surprised that
how a traffic police inspector could block the VIP route when already
the Islamabad police were duly informed about the arrival of the Chief
Justice.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and his family members
narrowly escaped what could have been a serious accident when an
Islamabad traffic police vehicle suddenly was found blocking the way
of the VIP motorcade.
As a result, over six vehicles, including five of those in the
motorcade, collided with each other, some even overturned. A daughter
of the Chief Justice got minor injury while Justice Iftikhar and other
members of his family remained secure.
When the motorcade entered the capital from the toll plaza near the
Golra interchange it found an Islamabad traffic police vehicle parked
horizontally in the middle of the road. According to one version,
after the pilot vehicle of the motorcade had passed, the interrupting
police vehicle was parked horizontally. The other version is that the
pilot vehicle had avoided collision and so did the CJ's car while the
other vehicles could not spot the police vehicle and smashed into it.
However, the fact remains that the police vehicle was blocking the VIP
route.
Supreme Court Registrar Dr. Faqir Hussain, when contacted, sounded
worried about the accident but he was cautious in his response. He
said that the police need to tell if it was an accident apparently on
account of the negligence of the traffic police or something else.
He, however, said: "This is something highly unusual." Dr. Faqir, who
was not willing to pre-judge the event, said the matter has to be
thoroughly investigated to get to the truth.
After his restoration and for the kind of cases he is taking up and
judgment handing down, the life of [Chief] Justice Iftikhar is
believed to be under threat from certain powerful quarters. Iftikhar
Chaudhry, who had made many enemies from amongst the powerful elite of
the country before November 3, 2007 by siding with the poor and
downtrodden of the country, and got [illegally] deposed by [PMLQ-MQM
corrupt traitor Pervez] Musharraf, is still making more enemies from
the powerful elite. The Supreme Court's decision to knock down the
[illegal] NRO [National Robbers Ordinance] has shocked many, whereas
he has also taken up innumerable cases of corruption, loot and plunder
of state's wealth by a selected few [criminals].
Besides taking up the Bank of Punjab issue that involved Rs 9 billion
and exposed several powerful, the Chief Justice also took suo-moto
notice of the sale of the state-land in Karachi and Sindh on throwaway
prices. The present Supreme Court had also cleansed the superior
judiciary from over 100 PCO judges and others appointed on Dogar's
recommendations after November 3, 2007.
Some "top" lawyers of the country, who had multiplied their fortunes
during the Dogar tenure, are also upset because of the corruption
allegations levelled against them by some accused or petitioners.
The News International correspondent reports: The office of the
Attorney General for Pakistan on Tuesday directed the Inspector
General of Police (IGP) Islamabad to thoroughly investigate the
accident of motorcade of the Chief Justice of Pakistan and submit a
report in this regard.
The motorcade of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry met an
accident near the Islamabad motorway the other day [Monday night].
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was on his way to Islamabad
from Lahore via motorway and the accident took place when his
motorcade was hit by another vehicle coming from the opposite side
immediately after leaving the Islamabad motorway, due to which
vehicles of the caravan collided with each other - however
fortunately, the Chief Justice and his family members did not sustain
any injuries.
After the incident, Acting Attorney General for Pakistan Shah Khawar
met Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and enquired about the
whole incident.
"I have directed IGP Islamabad Syed Kaleem Imam to thoroughly
investigate the matter, identifying the person whose negligence caused
the incident to take place," Shah Khawar told The News.
He said he has directed the IGP to evolve a new security plan after
consultation with the Chief Justice of Pakistan and his office staff
to avoid any untoward incident in future.
The Acting Attorney General directed the IGP to award stern punishment
to the people held responsible for the incident and further directed
to submit a progress report of the enquiry.
Meanwhile, it was learnt that an investigation committee has been set
up after the Chief Justice of Pakistan's (CJP) motorcade met an
accident. Two traffic policemen have reportedly been arrested, an in-
charge inspector suspended and show-cause notice to the Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) concerned has been issued. The injured
were shifted to various hospitals and provided medical treatment.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry visited PIMS and Polyclinic
hospitals, and enquired about the health of his staff members injured
in the accident.
Two ITP Officials Arrested
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 2 December 2009 (Daily Times) - Two officials of
the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) were arrested while two others were
issued show cause notices for negligence, ITP official said on
Tuesday. He said that negligence of the [ITP] personnel resulted in a

and Inspector Basheer. He clarified the accident took place as the two
[ITP] personnel did not clear the VIP route despite receiving orders
from the superiors in this regard. When the [CJP] motorcade entered
the capital from the toll plaza near Golra Interchange, a car came in
front of the pilot vehicle of the [CJP] motorcade. "Resultantly both
collided with each other," he added. He said six other vehicles,
including five of the [CJP] motorcade, also came under the impact of
the collision injuring five Punjab Police personnel. "After the
accident a high level committee was constituted to investigate the
incident," he said.
