CJP, NAB chief move to put doubts over polls at rest
Dawn 7/2/2018
ISLAMABAD: In their separate remarks, both the chief jusdce of Pakistan and the chairman of the anti-corruption watchdog said on Sunday that they didn`t have anything to do with the July 25 elections.
Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar said he was not facilitating anyone in the elections while National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal rejected allegations of pre-poll rigging levelled by some political parties.
`I am not running the campaign of any political party,` CJP Nisar said during a visit to the under-construction 400-bed Rawalpindi Child and Mother Hospital (RCMH) he paid at the request of Awami Muslim League (AML) president Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.
The CJP said he was visiting Rawalpindi to check the f acilities available in the hospital, adding that he was neither invited by anyone nor running the election campaign of anyone.
`I have not taken a contract to launch the election campaign of any party,` he said when a reporter asked him why he had visited the hospital in Sheikh Rashid`s constituency at his request during electioneering.
Earlier, the chief justice heard a case about the RCMH in the Supreme Court.
Soon af ter the hearing, Mr Rashid requested him to visit the site of the under-construction hospital, saying that the project, which had been lying abandoned since 2006, couldbe revived if he visited it.
Although the CJP, after receiving a briefing on the hospital project presented by the National Engineering Service officials, had said that there was no need to visit the site, soon after the hearing he ordered for his motorcade to proceed to Rawalpindi to inspect the hospital site.
During Chief Justice Nisar`s visit, the AML chief said the hospital was being constructed due to his efforts and he wanted to rename it af ter the CJP.
The chief justice did not agree with the idea and said he did not want the hospital to be named af ter him.
`Sheikh Sahib, you are doing a great job, I don`t want to get it named after me, he said.
`Sir, you have undertaken a noble cause of reviving the hospital project. May God bless you with my life as well,` Mr Rashid responded.
During the hearing of the case, the petitioner, Mr Rashid, said that the Rs5 billion RCMH project was launched during former president retired Gen Pervez Musharraf`s regime in 2005 but only Rs100m had so far been spent on it. He said work on the project had stopped since 2006 as none of the successive governments had paid attention to it.
The AML president requested the chief justice to order that the project be completed in two years. The CJP ordered that it must be completed in 18 months for which funds would be provided on a regular basis.
`If you do not receive money from the government, the Supreme Court will provide it to you,` the CJ assured those responsible for executing the project.
The chief justice also directed the authorities concerned to sit under the roof of the apex court and settle all issues confronting the project.
The RCMH is being constructed at the site of decades-old Tuberculosis Hospital on Eidgah Road, commonly known as TB Hospital.
NAB chief Meanwhile, NAB chairman Javed Iqbal said that allegations of pre-poll rigging had been levelled by some people against the bureau to tarnish the image and credibility of the top anti-graft institution.
According to an official statement issued by the bureau on Sunday, he said NAB was working inaccordance with the law and it would continue to perform its duties as per its mandate.
`The allegations of rigging before elections have been levelled just to tarnish the image and credibility of NAB,` the statement quoted Justice Iqbal as saying. He said that such charges could not deter NAB`s firm resolve and commitment to eradicating corruption from society.
`NAB does not believe in any victimisation and it is committed to nabbing the corrupt, proclaimed offenders and absconders with iron hands by using all its resources. The whole nation has pinned hopes on NAB for eradication of cor-ruption from the country and the bureau will come up to expectations of the nation,` the NAB chief said.
Justice Iqbal directed all directors general of the bureau not to spare any corrupt person and bring all of them to justice.
He also directed all NAB staff memberstoworkhard and in a transparent way to ensure that no injustice was done to anyone `Due to NAB`s effective policy, the bureau has arrested 350 accused over the last seven months and has recovered about Rs2.2 billion which is a record achievement with an overall conviction rate of 77 per cent,` Justice Iqbal said.
