ISLAMABAD - President Asif Ali Zardari has sent National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Fasih Bokhari's letter to the Law Ministry and has sought a legal opinion on it.
Federal Law Minister Farooq H Naek stated this while speaking to media representatives outside the Parliament House on Thursday. He said that that if NAB Chairman Admiral (Retd) Fasih Bokhari has directly submitted his resignation in the letter, then President Zardari would be taking action on it.
He said the Ministry was examining all legal aspects of the letter especially with regard to whether it contains a resignation. In a letter dated Jan 27th and dispatched from the Chairman's home address in Chak Shahzad Farms, Park Road, Bokhari had directly accused members of the superior judiciary of trying to influence the outcome of the coming general elections.
Addressing his appointing authority, the President, Fasih Bokhari cast serious doubts over the role of the Supreme Court which he said "could be seen as pre-poll rigging".
