President Dr Arif Alvi has said the Constitution of Pakistan is being abrogated on the pretext of seeking date for elections, so he had to write a letter.
In an interview, Alvi said instead of finding loopholes in the Constitution it should be respected, advising the government not to create deadlock in conducting elections while setting the provisions of the constitution aside.
He said it appeared that the country currently has not a coalition government but a technocrat setup that is getting some support from [unknown quarters.
In response to a question, Alvi said PTI Chairman Imran Khan should be questioned about the extension of retired general Qamar Javed Bajwa, adding he [Alvi] had no discussion with the sitting army chief about Imran Khan’s letters. The PTI chief also didn’t discuss with him the allegations against Asif Ali Zardari.
Alvi cautioned that country’s situation would worsen with the arrest of Imran Khan. “I cannot take any action against the governors on the issue of delay in the election.”
It should be noted that President Alvi wrote a second letter to the Chief Election Commissioner for consultation on the election while expressing his displeasure with the Election Commission for not responding to the letter.
