Shame on you Shahbaz Sharif for appointing criminal Rana Maqbool as Prosecution secretary
Controversial Rana Maqbool appointed as Prosecution secy
* Former Sindh IGP is accused of torturing Asif Zardari during his imprisonment in Karachi
Aaj Kal Report
LAHORE: The Punjab government has appointed former Sindh inspector general of police (IGP) Rana Maqbool Ahmed as the Public Prosecution Department secretary.
Rana Maqbool and several other high ranking police officials are accused of unlawfully obtaining the physical custody of Asif Ali Zardari, when he was being held in a Karachi prison, in 1999 and subjecting him to torture and forcing him to record incriminatory statements. According to the prosecution, Zardari suffered injuries to his tongue and other parts of his body due to the torture while the police refused to register an FIR against the officials, attributing the injuries to Zardari’s bid to commit suicide instead.
On April 19, 2008, a close aide to PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had told Daily Times that Nawaz had conveyed a message to General (r) Ziauddin Butt – the former director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) who was appointed chief of army staff by Nawaz triggering the coup by Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf in 1999 – and Rana Maqbool that they would be “accommodated at an opportune time”.
Talking to Aaj Kal, political observers said the move could destabilise the reconciliation process initiated by the Pakistan People’s Party. They said the decision was “a matter of additional concern” as it was made while President Zardari was out of the country. (Daily Times)

Prosecution seeks suspension of police officer’s bail
The Prosecution Department filed an application in the Sindh High Court (SHC) seeking suspension of the former Superintendent, Prisons, Najaf Mirza’s bail in PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari’s attempt-to-murder case.
Ex-Senator Saifur Rehman, ex-IG Rana Maqbool along with Najaf Mirza and others are facing trial before the Sessions Court following the SHC’s direction. The Prosecutor-General, Shahdat Awan, filed an application for suspension of the bail of defendant police officer and transfer of the trial to another sessions court. He contended that the Sessions Court had erred in granting bail to the defendant as previously the trial court had already dismissed the bail. He also assailed the order of transfer of trial and prayed the court to set aside the transfer order.
Additional District and Sessions Judge, South, on September 13, 2006, granting police report submitted by Investigation Officers under Section 173 Cr.P.C for C class disposed of attempt to murder case filed by Asif Ali Zardari against ex-Senator Saifur Rehman, his brother Mujeebur Rehman, ex-IG, Sindh, Rana Maqbool, DIG, Karachi, Farooq Amin Qureshi, and ex-Superintendent, Jail, Najaf Mirza, observing that -no sufficient evidence was found against the defendants.
However, the SHC set aside the trial court order on PPP Co-Chairman’s plea who sought trial of the defendants as they attempted to kill him during his incarceration in May 1999.

Shahbaz Sharif
As per The News International dated Saturday, October 09, 2010 – ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan in his written correspondence with the Prime Minister termed the appointment of Deedar Shah for the post of Chairman NAB as inappropriate. Nisar terms Deedar’s appointment ‘inappropriate’

Nawaz trusted the new NAB chairman By Rauf Klasra Saturday, October 09, 2010 Shawwal 29, 1431 A.H http://www.thenews.com.pk/09-10-2010/Top-Story/1195.htm
ISLAMABAD: The 10-year-old official record of the Sindh High Court (SHC) reveals that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, when he was a high profile detainee of Pervez Musharraf, during his trial on the hijacking charges punishable with death penalty, had not only shown confidence but also praised professionalism of the then Sindh High Court chief justice and the new NAB chairman, Deedar Hussain Shah. The record available with The News reveals that with the elevation of the then SHC CJ, Deedar Hussain, to the Supreme Court on April 28, 2000, detained Nawaz Sharif had suddenly found himself in big trouble at the hands of the new SHC CJ, who had constituted a full bench to hear the hijacking case on a daily basis. It created panic in the ranks of Nawaz’s legal team.

Why Chaudhry Nisar rejected Former Judge Mukhtar Junejo as Chairman NAB???-The Lahore High Court accepts (Feb 9, 1998) the constitutional petition filed by Rafiq Tarar against his disqualification by the (former) Acting CEC and declared him qualified to contest for and hold the office of President. The acting CEC, Justice Mukhtar Ahmed Junejo of the Supreme Court, had found Mr Tarar, a former Supreme Court Judge, guilty of propagating views prejudicial to the integrity and independence of the judiciary at the time of his nomination as a presidential candidate under Article 63(G) of the Constitution and debarred him from the December, 1997 contest. Former President Rafiq Tarar Sabotaged & Subverted the Judiciary. http://chagataikhan.blogspot.com/2010/09/former-president-rafiq-tarar-sabotaged.html
Unlawful Acts of Nawaz Sharif & Saifur Rehman.
http://chagataikhan.blogspot.com/2010/10/unlawful-acts-of-nawaz-sharif-saifur.html It is unfortunate that cases sans evidence were instituted during his tenure, but it is heartening that he (Nawaz Sharif) has revealed the truth without any fear or reluctance. Just have a look at some other words of Nawaz Sharif in the same interview. Sharif says: “I was not in favour of arresting Benazir Bhutto, but Saifur Rehman would insist upon her arrest. Ch Shujaat Hussain is witness to this fact that I wanted Benazir Bhutto to go abroad before being sentenced. In fact, I never wanted her to go to jail.” REFERENCES: Ghaddar Kaun?
