Says elections a political death warrant for PDM
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Secretary General Asad Umar has made it clear that in reality, the PML-N did not have any issue with composition of the bench but the representatives of the government were making all hue and cry to find any unconstitutional way to escape the polls because verily elections are a political death warrant for PDM. PTI Central Secretary General, in a statement on Saturday, said that the PDM government especially the PML-N was targeting the superior judiciary was meant to build pressure on the Supreme Court to find any unconstitutional way to defer the polls, which was constitutional requirements to be held within the stipulated 90 days.
Asad revealed that the PML-N leaders neither had any issue with the composition of the bench nor with the rules of the SC but they were scared of the elections, which the constitution mandated to be held within a given timeframe. PTI Central Secretary General stated that they were making noise and shouting to avoid the political death that was the reason they threatened not to accept the apex court’s decision until the formation of the full court.
Asad went on to say that the PML-N was now publically threatening to revolt against the constitution. He stated that the PML-N representatives pleaded that it was a case of important nature; hence it should be heard by the full court. However, Asad Umar said that according to the rules of the SC, a two-member bench could hear a case of this nature. He asked the government think tank to tell the nation that whether the suo moto notice by the SC, as a result Imran Khan-led elected government was removed, was heard by the full court.
Asad reminded that the fear of the election badly disturbed their memory, hence he should tell them that the case was heard by a 5-member bench and not by the full court. He said that the PTI government not only accept the decision of the 5-member bench but thanked the honorable court and did not attack like PML-N.
PTI Central Secretary General noted that since they had no legal and constitutional justifications to avoid the polls; hence they dubbed these judges, who were part of this bench, were biased.
