National Assembly Speaker halts probe into Farah Dogar case
Islamabad: National Assembly Speaker Fehmida Mirza on Tuesday
ruled out a house panel probe involving the chief justice to proceed until a
presumed legal hitch is cleared by the Islamabad High Court (IHC), possibly by
mid-January.
The development, which puts a question mark on the ruling
coalition's willingness to assert parliamentary supremacy, came four days after
a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court had thrown out an earlier restraining
order by a court judge.
The chairman of the house standing committee on
education, Abid Sher Ali of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-N complained
that the government and its allies had blocked his panel from proceeding with
its inquiry into alleged favours done to a daughter of Supreme Court Chief
Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar to enable her to get admission in a medical
college.
Allowed to speak on a point of order during a resumed debate on
the country's security situation, a day after being denied the opportunity by
Deputy Speaker Faisal Karim Kundi, Mr Ali demanded that the government stop
being partisan in the case and protested against Tuesday's decision by the
committee majority, including members from the ruling Pakistan People's Party
and its allies, to bar the media from covering its meetings.
But
Education Minister Mir Hazar Khan Bijrani, who denied the government was
partisan and promised "full cooperation" to the committee to "decide this matter
judiciously", said the majority had decided to wait until a decision by the IHC,
which has sealed the relevant record of the Federal Board of Intermediate and
Secondary Education (FBISE) and set Jan 13 for the next hearing of a challenge
to 20 additional marks awarded to the chief justice's daughter, Farah Hameed
Dogar, in its last intermediate examination.
But while Mr Ali rose again
to contest the minister's argument, the speaker declined to allow him to speak
by keeping his mike switched off and seemed to seal the fate of his demand for
any early probe by declaring: "Whatever the majority has decided we have to go
by that."
The IHC had earlier declined to restrain the probe, in which
the committee chairman had proposed to summon the chief justice to answer
questions if he had role in the affair while the restraining order issue by a
Supreme Court later was seen by many parliamentarians and legal experts as a
challenge to the concept of supremacy of parliament over other organs of the
state.
The education minister argued in the house that the committee
could not proceed while the board record remained in the high court custody and
that "a hasty move will not serve the requirements of justice".
"The
majority view (in the committee) was to postpone (the proceedings) until Jan 13,
after which we can make any progress in the light of the (Islamabad High Court)
decision," he said.
Earlier, the prime minister's adviser on interior, Mr
Rehman Malik, told the house that 18 demands made by Talal Bugti, son of the
late Akbar Khan Bugti, during his meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari and
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani last week had been sent to Inter-Provincial
Coordination Minister Raza Rabbani for his comments and one of the demands was
for a trial of former president Pervez Musharraf for ordering the murder of the
elder Bugti two years ago.
It was on a suggestion from Privatisation
Minister Naveed Qamar and a formal motion by Parliamentary Affairs Minister
Babar Awan, that the house suspended all other business set for what was a
private members' day to resume its debate on security situation in the wake of
Indian allegations of Pakistani links with the Nov 26 terror attacks in
Mumbai.
But despite the gravity of the situation emphasised by Mr Qamar,
many members from both sides of the house seemed more interested in their own
affairs as they made a beeline to the prime minister's desk to get apparent
applications signed by him before the present session ends on Wednesday, when a
consensus resolution is planned to be adopted at the end of the security
debate. Dawn
