Ansar Abbasi () is a Pakistani commentator with right-wing views and a columnist for The News International.
Chief Justice Choudhry
In 2002, Abbasi was among the earliest to raise allegations of serious misconduct against Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhray, specifically accusing him of unlawfully facilitating the admission of his son Dr. Arsalan into the Federal Investigation Agency. This accusation resulted in a formal reference against Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhry being submitted to the Supreme Judicial Council.[1]
President Musharraf
Abbasi condemned former president Pervez Musharraf for building an opulent residence in Chak Shehzad that benefited from government-subsidized utilities offered at discounted rates.[2]
Justice Dogar
In an exposé titled "Our Special Daughters" featured in Daily News, Abbasi disclosed that the F.Sc. exam paper of Justice Dogar's daughter, Farah Hameed Dogar, was re-evaluated in violation of a Supreme Court directive. Although recalculations were made for errors affecting 201 candidates, only her score was increased following the re-assessment. This matter was subsequently taken up by the parliamentary education committee.[3]
