SC to be responsible for any harm to me: Malik Riaz

In an interview with Dunya News, he said that he was receiving threats, and he is without any security cover.He also complained that he had requested a grace time of two minutes, which were refuted by the Apex Court; “hence, running out of all options, I had to resort to a press conference, since I was under sheer mental duress since past two years,” he said.“I still respect the CJP and have strong faith and trust in rest of Judiciary,” he declared.Putting forth the fourth question to CJP, he said that during the movement for restoration for judiciary (and CJP), which was also actively participated by Chaudhry Aitazaz Ahsan and Hamid Khan, it was decided that no meeting would be held with any messenger, yet why did CJP met him (Malik Riaz) and even did not bother to inform his colleagues?”Malik Riaz said that during his talks with CJP, both CJP’s son Arsalan Iftikhar and Registrar Supreme Court were also present, while he (Malik Riaz) had ‘pleaded with CJP to avoid running a parallel government, by avoiding any confrontation with PPP’.He said that doing business in Pakistan was quite a tough job, while he severely lambasted PML-N’s Chaudhry Nisar, asking the opposition leader about his offspring studying abroad, and numerous farmhouses, in face of mysterious means of income.Stressing that he was ‘helping Pakistan, if helping the government’, he cited the important role of various businessmen in such cases like Bhutto-Indira meeting, Musharraf-Nawaz meeting etc.He also said that yesterday (Tuesday) night, the Registrar Supreme Court, sought the services of Rehman Malik to accommodate Arsalan Iftikhar.
