Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan has said that outgoing Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry played his innings like Shahid Afridi, not like Sachin Tendulkar.

He said that the CJP committed a fatal mistake towards the end of his career by permitting only one private TV channel to cover the full court references, the Daily Times reports.

According to the report, if media would have not taken a stand, Chaudhry would not have been restored.

Another official said that the legal fraternity wants a "constitutional and legal chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) rather than a political one".
