Pakistan Steel Mills Case
May 25, 2008
Former Chairman of Pakistan Steel Mills, Lt. Gen. ( r) Abdul Qayyum, who had been very close to Gen. ( r ) Musharraf has suggested Pervaiz Musharraf to give up his presidency himself.
Abdul Qayyum whom Musharraf had appointed the Chairman of Pakistan Steel Mills while speaking in GEO program “Maray Mutabiq” last night, exposed that the disagreement between Musharraf and Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudry was started on the issue of privatization of Pakistan Steel Mills.
The Supreme Court had cancelled the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mills last year.
“The Chief Justice and the other judges who were dealing with this case were very honest and knowledgeable”, said Abdul Qayyum. He added, “Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Shoukat Aziz called me and asked me to favor the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mills before the Supreme Court, which I refused to do”.
“Only the price of the land on which the Pakistan Steel Mills is situated is about Rs. 40000000000 (40 billion) while Musharraf’s Government was going to sell the whole project for Rs. 21000000000 (21 billion)”, said Abdul Qayyum.
