A Pakistani court on Friday accepted a petition seeking investigation by a judicial commission of the source, who leaked information on a reported rift between the government and the country’s powerful army in the aftermath of India’s surgical strikes on the loC, to a leading daily.
Dismissing the objections on the petition filed by Pakistan Awami Tahreek, the lahore High Court accepted it for regular hearing from November 14.
The petitioner has raised objections on Justice (R) Amer Raza, head of the seven-member committee appointed to investigate the ‘Newsgate Scandal’, saying he (Raza) has close association with Sharif and therefore his investigation will not be impartial.
