KARACHI: In what appears to be another twist in the tale, the former director general of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Bashir Memon, has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan did not mention Supreme Court judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s name during a meeting with him.
Appearing on Hum News’ talk show called Breaking Point with Malick on Saturday night, Mr Memon said he had met the prime minister for just two to three minutes during which “no particular case was discussed”, dawn.com reported on Sunday.
When the show’s host, Mohammad Malick, asked the former FIA chief whether or not Prime Minister Khan had taken Justice Isa’s name during the meeting, Mr Memon replied in the negative. He, however, remained firm on the names of other government officials who he claimed had pressed him to initiate a case against the Supreme Court judge, said the dawn.com report.

WHEN he struggled from atop his container to become prime minister, Imran Khan promised that all who handle public funds would be held accountable. Influential people included, there would be no exceptions. Seen as a blow against widespread corruption, this was broadly welcomed. But new directives from the Prime Minister’s Office have explicitly excused some from normal procedures of accountability.
Most recently the HEC chairman, Dr Tariq Banuri, was shown the door after he questioned the performance exemption given to three scientific institutions associated with Dr Atta-ur-Rahman, currently an adviser to the government and a former HEC chairman. In doing so, Banuri crossed a red line. No charge sheet was issued but a hurried meeting of the cabinet led to his sacking. To avoid a legal challenge, a presidential ordinance reduced the HEC chairman’s tenure from four to two years.
