Memon reiterates PM did tell him to register cases against PML-N leadership.
Ex-DG FIA demands judicial commission to probe his allegations.
Fawad Chaudhry says practice of accusing PM and then taking U-turns should end.
Former DG Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Bashir Memon on Sunday clarified that Prime Minister Imran Khan did not mention Justice Qazi Faez Isa s name during their brief meeting.
However, he clarified Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem had mentioned the judge by name.
A few days ago, Memon had levelled serious allegations against the government when he said the prime minister had demanded he register treason cases against Maryam Nawaz, Khawaja Asif and book other PML-N leaders in cases. This allegedly took place when Memon was the DG FIA.

The dismal performance of PTI in the by-election of NA-249 Karachi is reflective of the growing under-confidence and distrust that people are increasingly demonstrating on the ability of the PTI government to address their woes. PPP won this seat after a huge gap of 23 years. Given the general disinterest and low turnout of voters in this by-election, it will be difficult for the PPP winner to claim that he rode to victory on the shoulders of people’s power. I think the victory was more determined by the majority of people that boycotted the elections and chose to stay back home.

Hum News programme Breaking Point with Malick on Saturday night, Memon said he had met the prime minister for two to three minutes in which no particular case was discussed .
When the host, Mohammad Malick, asked Memon whether the prime minister had taken Justice Isa s name during the meeting, Memon replied in the negative. He, however, remained firm on the names of other government officials who he claimed had pressured him to initiate a case against the Supreme Court judge.
