Leader of the opposition in National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, expressed his
reservations on the much talked about constitution of a five-member
Commission for the probe of Abbottabad raid because he was not
consulted.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali told a private TV channel that the Prime
Minister, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani did not take his opinion, while
constituting the Abbottabad Probe Commission.
Chaudhry Nisar’s chamber has also released the copy of the May 18
memo sent to the prime minister in which Nisar had stressed for the
need of consultations with the opposition leader.
Chaudhry Nisar in his letter had suggested the names of Justice
(rtd.) Shafiur Rahman, Justice (retd.) Nasir Aslam Zahid, Fakhruddin G
Ibrahim, Veteran journalist Majeed Nizami, Mahmud Khan Achakzai, Asma
Jahangir and Justice (retd.) Bhagwan Das.
Chaudhry Nisar had also proposed the probe into the reasons of Osama
presence in Abbottabad to be included in the mandate of the Commission
and had added that the Commission should also find out what are the
finalized issues between Pakistan and U.S. and the Commission should be
made bound to submit the report fixing the responsibilities in thirty
days.
