Advisor to PM for Inter-Provincial Coordination Rana Sanaullah on Monday claimed Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Qazi Faez Isa has denied accepting an extension in his service tenure.
Exclusively talking to a local TV, Rana Sanaullah said: “We don’t have the numbers needed for the Chief Justice’s extension or the constitutional amendment. If we had the numbers, it should have been done because a constitutional amendment is the prerogative of Parliament.”
CJP Qazi Faez Isa has made it clear that he will not accept any extension. He discussed this with the Law Minister and Attorney General, noting that an age limit extension for everyone would be acceptable.
On political front, Rana Sanaullah said, we are not aligned with Maulana Fazlur Rehman; rather, we are in cooperation with him.
There have been accusations against Lt. General (retired) Faiz Hameed regarding his involvement in the appointment of the Army Chief and securing desired postings. He is also accused of using PTI for these purposes. If these accusations hold, then he could not have acted alone; the founder of PTI would be involved as well, Sanaullah said.
