Lahore, June 2(ANI): The formation of the Abbottabad probe commission has been challenged in the Lahore High Court.
Almost a month after al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a top-secret US unilateral military operation in Pakistan's Abbottabad city, the Pakistan Government formed the long-awaited commission on the incident in compliance with the unanimous resolution of the joint session of Parliament.
"Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has constituted a commission to investigate the Abbottabad incident," said a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Secretariat on Tuesday.
Justice Javed Iqbal, a senior judge of the Supreme Court, will head the five-member commission, it added.
Other members of the commission are Justice Fakhruddin G Ebrahim, Lt-Gen (retired) Nadeem Ahmed, former police chief Abbas Khan and former ambassador Ashraf Jahangir Qazi.
However, the Abbottabad inquiry commission was challenged in the Lahore High Court on Thursday.
The petitioner, Advocate Rana Ilmuddin Ghazi, said that the opposition had not been consulted in the formation of the commission.
He also raised the question that how Gilani, who had declared the Abbottabad operation as a great achievement, could form an investigation commission into the same, Dunya News reports.
The petitioner pleaded that the commission should be formed under the chair of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhhamad Chaudhary.
He also pleaded that the incumbent and retired judges of the superior judiciary should be inducted into the commission. (ANI)
