Sindh information minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said on Wednesday that Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was involved in getting his son appointed on deputation in four departments.
He also lashed out at former premier Nawaz Sharif, saying that soon he will either be ‘in jail or in Jeddah’ as corruption cases against him have been reopened.
Addressing a gathering organised to honour newly elected office bearers of the Pakistan Association of Press Photographers (PAPP) at the office of the Karachi Union of Journalists, Memon said that Chief Justice Chaudhry was involved in his son’s appointments. He said that if president can be criticised, there was no reason someone else should not be.
The minister said that it was unprecedented that judges should get media coverage for hours, and that institutions set up in the name of accountability and justice were unable to raise a finger at the people who were responsible for the present situation. ‘Why is suo motu action not taken against the people who threw shoes on judges in Faisalabad or who committed violence against journalists in Punjab?” Memon asked.
Continuing his diatribe, the minister said that ‘so-called anchorpersons consider themselves intellectuals and do not allow their guests to present the government’s point of view at all.
He added that his party, Pakistan Peoples Party, was working with coalition partner Muttahida Qaumi Movement on a law for local bodies.

I endorse above comments given by "Born Political". People of Pakistan should punish PPP, MQM, ANP and Q League in the coming elections with the power of vote.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said on Wednesday that Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was involved in getting his son appointed on deputation in four departments. ------ Wow, what a talented son this talented man Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry has!
Sharjeel Inam Memon said,".... former premier Nawaz Sharif will either be ‘in jail or in Jeddah’ soon". Great, how about in a "Jail in Jeddah"? ---- I ask----thus the omnipresent Mian can be in both places at the same time.
@Mirza, with all due respect, one should be ashamed of defending this govt in any form. Are you in Pakistan? Did you face continuous load shedding in 45 degrees this June? If you have heart for poor, please do not support this govt.
Stupic statement by stupid person.
@Khan: Who? The one talking plain truth or some one else. It is always bitter to swallow the truth. All is his masters voice but what ever he is talking is plain truth so digest it rather than-------?
Shame for Sharjeel and his master sitting in President House.
What stupid level of exchanges.This Country is really so unfortunate to have such political pygmies ruling it. I think we do not desrve the so called democracy
Right on target. Now the touts would not have any answer or argument to deny the facts so they would start talking everything other than what is said.
Would you like to explain Mr. Sharjeel Inam Memon truly,sincerely and honestly that what about Zardari??????
Sale of handkerchief may increases if it happens.
Ok.......can Mr. Sharjeel also tell us why BB went to London and returned only when the NRO deal with musharaf was finalized and zardari was released as a token of approval for this deal.
His master's voice
