Balochistan crisis: CJ terms Akbar Bugti killing 'biggest mistake'
The chief justice made these remarks in the Supreme Court’s Quetta Registry where he was heading a three-member bench and hearing cases pertaining to missing people and the Balochistan law and order situation.
During the hearing, Akbar Bugti’s son and Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) chief Nawabzada Talal Bugti said that him leaving would result in external forces taking over Dera Bugti.
The chief secretary said that measures were being taken to ensure peace in the area, upon which the chief justice gave directives for including Nawab Bugti’s family in the voters’ list.
“Providing security to the people is a duty of the government,” said Justice Chaudhry.
During the hearing, the chief justice, irked at Attorney General Ifran Qadir’s absence, told the deputy AG to summon six federal secretaries instead.
At one point, the chief justice enquired about the doctors’ strike underway in Quetta, to which the advocate general replied saying they were outside. The chief justice directed him to bring them inside respectfully.
The chief justice ordered them to end the strike, to which they agreed.
The police department, as per the chief justice's instructions, submitted the notification pertaining to shoulder promotions in the court.

the two nation theory a mistake.. the base of formation a mistake... from head to toe mistakes, mistake and blunders...from where to begin cleansing my country. keep the spirit of hope one day we will get there.
@dpd: i agree
CJ, i beg to differ. Any such killings is the biggest mistake. Killings of SHIA'S is the biggest mistake. Killings of AHMEDDIE's is the biggest mistake. Killings in KARACHI is the biggest mistake. Killings of BALOCHI'S is the biggest mistake. Please TRY and rectify these MISTAKES.
Can anyone tell please, where was CJ when Bugti Sahab was eliminated? appreciate your comment after 6 years, CJ Sahab......
Assassination of Nawab Akbar Bugti was the biggest blunder in the history of Pakistan. This event took place because of the ego of dictatorship otherwise Nawab Bugti and committees led by Ch. Shujahat and Mushahid Hussain had almost solved the problem.
Akbar bugti has reached a very high pedestal in history. Today man people observe his death anniversary and when Musharraf die we will see how many people will cry for the beloved dictator. The problem here is the comments of few ignorant persons who don't know anything about the situation of Balochistan and what actually transpired during the time when Bugti was assassinated, make senseless comments such as Bugti was a criminal and killing him was right. Such people represent ignorant masses who will remain ignorant forever one can't expect them to know the truth ever.
Why Baloch are angry ?This is 5th army operation going on in Balochistan.We should work on root cause . The CJ should also adress if he can on root cause.What happened in 1948 with Baloch people and why?The Baloch Assembly (Aewan Bala &aAewan Zareen), which resolulation passed in19477jan1948 by these Aewans.Why not to discuss on these facts to solve the issues. Alwayes lieying, in all field lies,in school teaching ,news papers, radio tv, mosques every where lies? and how long 65 years passed.
CJ says killing of Akbar Bugti was a mistake. How can killing of a citizen willfully by the State be a mistake, it is an murder. Thank you CJ Sir for teaching us a little bit about Justice.
@zeeshan: "You are truly the last hop"
The last hop towards the fall of Pakistan...hehe
" Big Mistake" Really Mr. Chief Justice!!!! or is it to have you as Chief Justice. It very clear that yo pick and choose your cases.
"Mr. Bugti was killed by RAW agents" - Mr. Rehman Malik.
some people just love to do one thing, which is to bash everyone possible, nothing constructive to say :) maybe its time we think towards positive direction & do something for Pakistan ourselves instead of sitting in comfort & rant about everyone. In next election vote wisely, I hope you guys can do this bit at least? or maybe you want to try Zardari again or Nawaz as so called liberals hate Imran khan :) I'm quite sick of liberals & conservatives
crocodile tears.Not even dare to condole the family of his mentor though in the apex court as PCO judge.
No my Lord, your restoration is the biggest mistake!
This man has developed a habit of talking big, but delivering nothing in actual practice.
Musharraf did theright thing! This is how all these anti state elements should be dealt with-No Talks-No respite-Just action! CJ in his usual blind hatred for Musharraf is taking such actions which will ruin Pakistan further! To corroborate look at his action of releasing terrorists by saying "No evidence Found" and since then look at the massacres these anti state cancerous minds have done in Pakistan! Last but not the least Cj should retire and wait for two years before he can emerge as a political leader from his favourite party ML-N whom every typ of relief he has provided in past 5 years due to his strong "relations" with them!!!!!!
Want to solve Balochistan issue ?? Simple solution blame it on India!!
Dont care for nasty comments and keep doing chief saheb
Akbar Bugti was killed in this decade. Balochistan has been the way it is for more than six decades. Everybody has an agenda, everybody needs a scapegoat.
The CJ had a feud with Musharraf so obviously everything Musharraf did will be the biggest problem in the history of the country.
The 'biggest mistake' was making you CJ. You name will be remember in history with the likes of Mir Jafar.
Unrealistic, Political and biased statement. Bugti always considered himself above the law and he compromised the national solidarity by act of sabotages. Mr. Bugti was in a cave with some fully armed absconders at the time of his death and he was killed in a cross firing with the law enforcement agencies called by the Government of Baluchistan. .Mr. CJ none is the above law and no one should be spared even he is Nawaz Sharif or Arsalan Iftikhar. If you feel the then Government committed any unlawful act then you are equally responsible because you were the one who validated the Musharraf regime.
I agree current CJP was the biggest mistake.
Such remarks by the Chief Justice doesn't suit his post.
I fully agree with Arif's comments.
It is true that killing Bugti was biggest mistake done and its high time that justice be delivered otherwise things in Baluchistan will deteriorate further. Atleast our CJ understands what it means to be on right side of history.
Killing??? But Mian Musharraf said Akbar Bugti comitted suicide..
And the second biggest mistake was to have you restored as the CJ.. !!
Bugti killing a biggest mistake: CJ. and at that time Pakistan had PCO Judge, currently Chief Justice of Pakistan.
Well The Bugti killing did give a face and a cause to the Balochistan independence movement. Bugti was a criminal and he was turned into a martyr.
Bravo CJ !!
Great work, keep going CJ we are always standing with you to solve these issue and make Pakistan a worth place to live.
What is shoulder prmotions? Is this a legitimate method of promoting people under rules of the institution? CJP should pass an order giving details of why this method of promotions is illegal. The Judiciary should have their own newspaper and a TV channel so that they get the desired coverage.
So Will you Musharref back for a trial?
Our CJ has found an addiction of making headlines. He should worry about his own institution and his absolute failure to improve justice system of Pakistan.
Honorable CJP, why make political statements? As long as you hold the CJP office, you have no business in making political or administrative statements. By venturing into the political arena you compromise courts neutrality and objectivity. Pakistan needs institutions, not another Sultan Rahi kind of hero which can only be found in Punjabi movies.
CJ himself is the biggest mistake for our country. He and this governement is the punishment from Allah for our sins as a nation!
