QUETTA: Former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said Tuesday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s allegations against him with regards to election rigging were tantamount to accusing the entire judiciary, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives after offering Eid prayers at Quetta's Eidgah Toghi road, the former CJ said that a legal notice had been sent to Khan and further action would be taken on the matter after a span of two weeks.

Earlier, lawyers of the former chief justice had sent a defamation notice worth 20 billion rupees to Khan.

The PTI chief had accused the former chief justice of poll rigging in the 2013 general elections.

The former CJ’s son Arsalan Iftikhar, who also spoke to reporters, termed the allegations leveled by Khan as lies.

Arsalan said that Imran should first accept the fact that he has a daughter, adding that the top priority was to bring her justice.

The CJ's son had earlier alleged that Khan had cheated the Election Commission as well as the nation by concealing that Tyrian J. Khan was his daughter.
