Former Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has announced that he is going to launch his own political party. "I am launching my own political party," Chaudhry, who earned himself a reputation by facing off with the powerful military dictator General Musharraf (Retd), told reporters here. He said that he intended to form his own party in the aftermath of the verdict of Inquiry Commission, which cleared him of all charges of being involved in election rigging.
Chaudhry, who was accused by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf of helping Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) sweep general elections 2013, sounded out that a judicial commission, formed to investigate the alleged election rigging, has proved Imran Khan a liar. "By declaring the polls just and legal, the inquiry commission has vindicated the honour of entire judiciary including me," Chaudhry said. Talking about the next general elections, Chaudhry said that it was the need of the hour that a mechanism be devised so that no political party was accused of rigging.
