PTI chief’s ‘facilitators’ in judiciary to be exposed, says Maryam

LAHORE: PML-N lea­der Maryam Nawaz on Mon­day pledged to expose what she called Imran Khan’s facilitators in the judiciary “with full force” and tasked the party spok­es­persons with doing so. Presiding over a meeting of PML-N’s spokespersons at the party office in Model Town, the party’s chief organiser asked them to bring forth the facts related to the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Panama Papers case in which her father Nawaz Sharif was convicted and ousted from the Prime Minister’s House. “The meeting also form­ulated a strategy to expose Imran Khan’s facilitators’ corruption. Khan’s facilitators in the judiciary will also be exposed with full force,” the PML-N said in a statement issued after the meeting. “Imran Khan has become a story of the past and now it’s time to think about Pakistan’s future,” Ms Nawaz said. The PML-N leader said that so much evidence of “Nawaz’s innocence” had come forth that both sides of the scale of justice sho­uld have been equal by now. “Maryam Nawaz told the spokespersons to aggr­e­ssively advocate the party’s stance against certain former and incumbent judges to continue building pressure to eventually secure relief for Nawaz Sharif and ensure disqualification of Imran Khan,” a party source told Dawn. She said that the detailed judgement of Justice Mansoor Ali and Justice Jamal Mandokhel of the Supreme Court in the suo motu case regarding elections to the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies, released earlier in the day, had vindicated the PML-N’s stance. Ms Nawaz claimed that the dissenting note of Justice Shah and Justice Mandokhel had also vindicated the party’s narrative of “bench fixing”, Samaaenglish.tv reported. “If the bench-making is not fair, how can the decision be considered fair?” she questioned. The PML-N has decided to bring to the fore the “unjust” and “vindictive” judgements and testimonies against Nawaz Sharif. The meeting also decided to propagate the facts regarding the party’s policies. Ms Nawaz said that during the four years of PTI’s rule, not one job out of the 10 million or one house out of the five million promised was given to the public. She described Imran Khan’s 10-point agenda to turn around the country’s economy as a pack of lies. Later, in a tweet, the PML-N leader called Mr Khan a “foreign agent” whose purpose was to create anarchy and chaos. Published in Dawn, March 28th, 2023

CJP questions how ‘clarification order’ made it to website

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa has raised nine questions in a letter to the Supreme Court’s registrar, seeking clarification on how a Sept 14 clarification order was uploaded to the top court’s website. The Sept 14 order, issued by eight judges led by senior puisne judge Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for failing to implement the Supreme Court’s July 12 judgement, which declared the PTI eligible for reserved seats in parliament. In his letter dated Sept 21, the CJP wondered who directed the uploading of the Sept 14 clarification order on the Supreme Court’s website. His inquiry followed a note from the Deputy Registrar (Judicial), who flagged the issue of the order’s appearance on the website. The note questioned how the order was uploaded when no cause list had been issued, no notices had been sent to the parties, and the order had not been received by the deputy registrar’s office until 8pm on the...

NA secretariat list shows 80 PTI MNAs as SIC lawmakers despite SC reserved seats verdict

The National Assembly Secretariat has shown 80 PTI MNAs as part of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) in an updated list of the actual party positions in parliament’s lower house after accounting for the Supreme Court’s (SC) verdict in the reserved seats’ case, it emerged on Friday. In July, the top court declared the PTI eligible to receive reserved seats for women and non-Muslims in the national and provincial assemblies, giving it a new lease on life in the legislature by declaring it a parliamentary party. The SC dealt a further major blow to the PML-N-led coalition government on Saturday, as it reprimanded the Election Commi­ssion of Pakistan (ECP) for not implementing its July 12 judgement, further complicating the Shehbaz Sharif-led administration’s efforts to secure the required numbers to pass a controversial Constitutional Package related to the judiciary. The SC clarified that as per the position, 41 returned candidates, out of a total of 80 MNAs, would remain members ...
