PM didn’t affect CJ’s appointment: Khawaja Asif

ISLAMABAD: Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said that Chief Justice was appointed on merit, adding that Prime Minister has no contribution in CJ’s appointment.

In his statement, Defense Minister said that everyone know that after retirement of Supreme Court Chief Justice, the most senior judge only appoints Chief Justice.

But a campaign was run regarding appointment of new Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, in which an impression was being given that Prime Minister Mohammed Nawaz Sharif was affecting the appointment of Chief Justice.

Khawaja Asif said that the campaign was aimed to damage credibility of institutions.
