The chief justice of Pakistan (CJP)’s tenure is being fixed at five years under the constitutional reforms package, PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari told PML-N leader Ishaq Dar in a meeting on Sunday. Dar, who resigned as finance minister from the current cabinet, told reporters that it was a ‘routine meeting’ at Zardari House. He said that Zardari rejected the impression that the PPP was reducing the chief justice’s tenure to three years. Dar denied that Zardari had given him a copy of the draft of the constitutional package, and said his party would express its reaction after getting a copy of the 62-point draft. |
