It has been proven that ‘Don’ Arsalan is managing things: Malik Riaz
Business tycoon appears before Suddle commission, says he does not believe it will investigate independently.
Business tycoon Malik Riaz reiterated on Tuesday that Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, was a “don” who was managing things according to his will.
“Arsalan will get the same justice that common people receive. Don’t make him a VIP, he’s a don,” Riaz said while speaking to the media after appearing before the Suddle commission tasked to probe the Arsalan-Riaz saga.
Riaz reaffirmed that he does not have faith in the one-man commission, as Shoaib Suddle had family relations with Arsalan. “I want to request the Supreme Court to treat everyone equally,” he said while referring to other cases in which the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were tasked to probe, while his case was handed to the “5-star” Suddle commission.
“There’s a deal going on as well for the extension in Suddle’s job so no one can challenge his decisions,” he added.
Riaz’s counsel Zahid Bukhari told the media that he has submitted a written complain to the commission regarding its eligibility. “We have maintained that the constitution of the commission was unlawful and we have challenged it too in the Supreme Court in form of a review, but the review is still pending.”
He said that all notices sent by the commission to his client were ignored as they do not believe that the commission can investigate independently.
“On October 5, the life of the commission ended and it died. The Supreme Court revived it on November 6, so all investigations that the commission carried out within this time period is unlawful,” Bukhari maintained calling any commission a “temporary institution”.
