Arsalan Iftikhar issue was a conspiracy to threaten judges: Asma Jahangir

Lahore: (Monday, June 25, 2012) Prominent lawyer and human rights activist Asma Jahangir said here today that Arsalan Iftikhar issue was a conspiracy that was planned to threaten the judges. Asma said this while talking to the
journalists at the Lahore High Court.

She was of the view that the motive behind this conspiracy was to threaten the judges and to wrap up the democratic setup. She further said that those who created Tehreek-i-Insaaf were the real conspirators.

Condemning and expressing her displeasure over the selection of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan, she said that his selection has conveyed a wrong message to the nation as he was blamed for corruption in
the rental power projects.

Commenting on the root cause of this political unrest, Asma said that the apex court should have directed the Attorney General to write the letter. She said, “If it was all about writing a letter, the court could have ordered the
Attorney General or its Registrar Office to do that.”

She said that the destruction of one institution could trigger a chain reaction.
