PESHAWAR: Former minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Shaukat Yousafzai on Thursday criticized his own party leadership for boycotting the parliamentary committee meeting to pick a new Chief Justice of Pakistan for a three-year term.
Sources said that Shaukat Yousafzai targeted the party leaders with criticism via WhatsApp group and openly assailed the party’s top brass’s decision to boycott the parliamentary committee.
“The party decision to boycott from participation in the parliamentary committee proceedings to pick one of the top three judges of the Supreme Court as CJP for a term of three years,” he said, adding that the party leaders had also been advised not to oppose the selection of Justice Yahya Afridi. He said that PTI leaders should have participated in the parliamentary committee meeting and if they were not taking part in the committee proceedings then why they talked to the government about the constitutional amendments?
Justice Yahya Afridi, he added, had a clean judicial career and the PTI should have not created problems for the party.
