ISLAMABAD: Arsalan Iftikhar, in one of four pleas submitted to the court, said that Attorney General Irfan Qadir did not have the right to forward his case to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and that in doing so, he did not properly follow the orders of the court, Express News reported on Friday.
Expressing mistrust in the attorney general, Arsalan requested in his plea that a judicial officer perform an inquiry into the case.
In other pleas, the chief justice’s son requested that the court make NAB Chairman Faseeh Bukhari and Malik Riaz’s son-in-law Salman party to the case as well.
Earlier, the attorney general had written a letter to the NAB chairman asking him to conduct an investigation into the Arsalan Iftikhar case after the court had ordered him to take action in accordance with the law.

Was father not enough to make demands and the interpretation of his choices, now son does the same, demand what force or branch of law should do what? Kindly show some respect to the people’s of Pakistan.

Why not Arsalan. Its your personal fiefdom. That is why MR Riaz was approaching you.
Recommend
Trying to save himself from his mis-deeds. Rather he should himself tell the method of accumulating huge wealth in a matter of three or four years.
Recommend
Let the time decide, if arsalan has faults in his personality, malik riaz is not an angel everyone knows that. But one thing is sure, all this game was preplanned by high ups of democratic government. democracy is the best revenge.
Recommend
Someone from 16 Uncles must have given him this idea. AG only did what he was told to do by the judges so why all this fuss from this begotten son. It is time to investigate all who enjoyed beyond their means. This should be done on war footings as seen in other cases.

@Mohd Butt:
Beware! If Arsalan Iftikhar wants only daddy dear to hear his case so be it. Saying or writing against him could be perceived as Contempt of Court and you in hot water.

@Mohd Butt:
His father,s integrity is above board. He is a giant living among pigmies. Arsalan may be involved in all misdeeds you can think of but not his father.
Show respect to those who deserve it.

Funny Arsalan than who should be asking you?
Recommend
His claims indicate that something wrong in his side.. If honest, he should be open to any inquiry..
Recommend
What a conceited imbecile this guy is. I’m sure the CJ would be proud of him.
Recommend
@oh:This is a real gangsta court. Did’nt his father knowingly got him all degrees and jobs by using his influence. That is CORRUPTION as well
Recommend
NAB had already shown its unwillingness to investigate the matter, but the court handed the case to principal law officer of Pakistan. If you have any grievances, take the legal course and avoid exploiting media for this. You have already made enough trouble, so you should stop playing to the gallery.
Recommend
what kind of a blind father cannot see how his son has suddenly started accumulating wealth?
Recommend
what CJ and his son deserve, is appearing up here

@oh:
His father’s integrity is non-existent. Please do not portray your personal opinions as acknowledged facts, it is misleading and unethical.

Looks like some are more equal than others. Shame on him and his father for having raised him to be like this!

Dont worry NAB= Never accountability bureau is impotent

Like father like son. God save Pakistan.

@Mohd Butt:
These are not demands. As a matter of fact it is a matter of principle. Chairman NAB and AG, both are Malik Riaz’s agents. How can you expect any fair inquiry from those who are not impartial?

@oh: Sure!$!

@oh:
Yes, show respect to CJ only however you can insult the whole parliament
very sad Mr. oh

Arsalan. In-charge. And its beginning to show.

worthy son of the worthy father .
Now the ball is in the court of govt.
CJ should be also held responsible for the crime commited by his son .
Recommend
No one is above the law except CJ’s son.

@oh:
Yes his fathers integrity is definitely above board. While Arslan was living a lavish life style way beyond known means of income his father was very conveniently looking the other way, asking no questions. Perhaps he was too preoccupied with finding others faults. He is only human.
Recommend
Why are people trying to suggest Arsalan is guilty. And even if he is, CJ surely isnt to be blamed. Even if he knew his son was using wrong means, what could he have done about it? Parents can only teach their kids, but cant force them. If they could, we would be in a world without anyone corrupt.Recommend
@oh:
Dear integrity is not one time target that you achive it once in life time but it is continue balancing act, any time you can not maintain it you lose what you had maintained in your life.
Size matters when it is compared with limited stocks, otherwise any thing giant may be not giant if comparison is reset with other Parameter.
I will bow with respect if you continuely show that you deserve it by your actions. Love you as long as you are on the fine line of balance.

Dear I am not against any one, but I realize that I am part of the society which I blame is not fair among it’s members, and I play my part but don’t take responsibility, but blame others. By speaking out what I believe is correct is my responibility to do so, so did CJ when we felt to speck out and stand up, if he was right how can I or any one other be wrong?
Love you all.
