| [DAWN] Chief Justice of Pakistain Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani on Monday approved three names of Supreme Court judges for the judicial commission to probe the attack on senior journalist and anchorperson Hamid Mir who was injured in a gun attack in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Saturday. The judges who will be on the commission are Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Ejaz Afzal and Justice Iqbal Hameedur Rahman. Prime Minister Sharif also visited Mir earlier today at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi where the senior journalist is undergoing treatment. Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Sharif had decided to constitute a three-member judicial commission to probe into the attack. A formal request in this regard was later sent to Chief Justice Jillani to nominate three members for the commission. The government has also announced a reward of Rs10 million for any information leading to the arrest of culprits. |
