Sacking Chief Justice Chaudhry was a mistake: Former Pakistani President General (r) Pervez Musharraf
WASHINGTON : Former President of Pakistan General (r) Pervez Musharraf has confessed that he committed a mistake by removing Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry from the office of Chief Justice of Pakistan, reports www.trendpk.com .
“Now, after seeing the incidents following his dismissal from the office I realized that I shouldn’t have done that,” former military ruler told the attendees of his lecture held Thursday at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas.
“It was a mistake to send the reference against him to Supreme Judicial Council, though it was my constitutional and legal obligation… The reference resulted in a chaos in the country… Probably I won’t commit such things in future,” he was quoted as saying in front of an audience of more than 2,000 people.
“Neither had I any personal enmity with Justice Chaudhry when i removed him nor have I at the moment,” Musharraf said, adding that he had been left alone with no other choice but to depose CJP in order to prevent the democratic system of that time.
