Security situation: Admit you have failed in Balochistan, CJ tells IGFC, chief secretary

Says will summon governor once they admit failure.

QUETTA: An irked Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry told the Inspector General of Frontier Corps (IGFC) and the chief secretary to admit they had failed in Balochistan, adding that the governor would be summoned once they had done so, Express News reported on Wednesday.

The chief justice made these remarks in the Quetta Registry of the Supreme Court, while hearing the case pertaining to enforced disappearances and law and order situation in Balochistan.

He was heading a three-member bench which included Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Jawwad S Khawaja.

In the previous day’s hearing, a visibly angry chief justice said that Attorney General Ifran Qadir would not be allowed to enter the court without prior permission.

He had also summoned the federal secretaries for interior and defence on Wednesday to apprise the court of steps taken to improve law and order in the province.
