Ex-CJP Saqib says he met Bajwa

LAHORE: Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar has divulged the details of his recent meeting with former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) retired Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa. 

Mr Bajwa, who hung his boots in November last and is in the news as PTI chief Imran Khan is up in arms against him since his ouster in April last, held a meeting with the former chief justice at his residence in Lahore last week. Since then, the two remained tight-lipped about the meeting and the details were kept under wraps.

He dispelled speculations about the misuse of the funds. He also said the economy of the Pakistan needed to be fixed.
