Leaders of the ruling coalition alliance said on Thursday that no one could be given the right to stop the Parliament from enacting laws.

Addressing a press conference, the leaders of the ruling parties said that the bill had not been made yet and an 8-member bench had been constituted. Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Law Azam Nazir Tarar said that all the parties had demanded formation of a full court. He added that the petition was filed in haste and a bench was formed.

He said that this was the interference of institutions in the legislative authority of the Parliament. Tarar asked the reason that why the judges of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had not been included in the bench.

The federal minister said that no compromise would be made on the right of the people. He said no one could be given the authority to stop the Parliament from enacting laws. Tarar said all the seniority norms were ignored while forming a ‘selective’ bench and an eight-member bench was formed through pick and choose.

He said that the impression of division in the judiciary had come to the fore and it was expected that the bench would be dissolved today (Thursday). Tarar said, “If a law is made, the court can review it, the timing of filing a case on the judicial reform bill is not appropriate and the case cannot be conducted.

People’s Party leader Qamar Zaman Kaira, speaking on the occasion, said that the bill was still with the Parliament and the Supreme Court had taken it up. Kaira said, “Do you want to stop the Parliament from exercising its authority? All the parties have struggled hard to make the Parliament authoritative.”

He said that the attempt was being made to snatch authority of the Parliament by forming such bench which was unacceptable. “We are again telling that the method of forming the bench is not right,” he mintained.

The People’s Party leader said that brazenness, stubbornness and arrogance were being exhibited. What impression would the people be getting after seeing the bench list. “If it continues like this, we will not accept it,” he concluded.

PTI founder says he wants to clear the air about 2014 sit-in

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder says he is ready to face an inquiry into the 2014 sit-in.

The PTI founder, who interacted with reporters at Adiala Jail a day after the ISPR presser, said he would be happy to appear before an inquiry committee. He said the allegations levelled against him regarding the dharna (sit-in) were wrong.

He said the 2013 election was the one of returning officers (ROs).

“How can one hold dialogue with the government after the caretaker prime minister’s statement about Form 47,” he said while calling the elections of prime minister, president, Punjab chief minister and Senate bogus.

Holding out an olive branch to the powers that be, he said half of his family had men in army and half bureaucrats. “This is our army and we have no issue with it. I came to know about the May 9 violence when I appeared in the Supreme Court,” he said.

He said he condemned the May 9 violence while being in the court of Justice Umar Ata Bandial.

The army, he said, should not be dragged in politics. “We have not resorted to arson in our 27-year history,” he said.

He said the PTI dissolved two governments. It did not want violence, he added.

Significance of media talk

The PTI founder’s media talk holds significance as it comes a day after Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry’s presser.

The ISPR once again said the perpetrators and facilitators of May 9 violence would have to face punishment in line with law and Constitution. The army, he said, had the evidence of wrongdoing.

He said May 9 was not Pakistan armed forces’ case but it was a case of all Pakistanis. An attempt was made to create hatred between the people of the country and armed forces, he said, adding that it’s essential to punish the perpetrators to keep faith in the judicial system intact.
