Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek -e -Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has appointed Chaudhry Puzoz Elahi as the president of the party, which is an office that is not in the PTI constitution which is not present in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is presented.
Accidentally, the appointment is made at a time when the PTI is launching rallies “saving the constitution, saving the judiciary”.
In a notification issued by the PTI chairman at the end of Tuesday, it was written: “Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has been nominated as President of Pakistan Tehreek-Justice.” Makhdoom Javed Hashmi was the last president of the party and after that the office remained vacant. According to an internal party, the PTI constitution was amended in August 2022, through which the president’s office was removed from the party’s rating structure.
Accidentally, Fawad Chaudhry, who was standing with the Divine, announcing the latter president, was a part of the committee that abolished the office. Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Asad Omar, Pervez Khatak, Aamir Kayani, Asad Qaiser, Imran Ismail, Ali Zaidi, Sherin Mazari, Hamad Azhar, Saifullah Niazi and others were also members of the committee who amended the constitution.
A copy of the constitution available with JEE News shows that although there are offices of provincial chapters, the president has no office. While Imran Khan is the chairman, Shah Mehmood Qureshi held the second highest office, the vice chairman. This is followed by the Secretary General’s slot, which is available to Asad Omar, Additional Secretary General, Deputy Secretary General, Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Joint Secretaries and various wings secretaries.
Does the party chairman have the authority to make a new position without amending the constitution? Some say that he has been given the option to do so and others say he does not have the power.
A legal expert said he could do so and refer to Article 8 of the PTI Constitution. In the event of a strategic or urgent need, the article is written, the chairman can devise a different method from the provisions of this (party) constitution to ensure that the party is able to handle such needs. “The chairman will be given the option of making all such decisions necessary to affect any such need.” Such provisions will remain operational until the chairman decides through a notification, it is read more. If such decisions affect any clause of the Constitution, the article continues, such as contradictory provisions will be run in accordance with the procedure specified under Article 4, which is related to amending the Constitution which is the Central Executive Committee. Can be presented in front. Tenth of the total membership of the National Council or National Council. The amended section of the constitution signed by the chairman will be presented to the ECP.
However, the power of the chairman described in the constitution does not allow him to create a new office without amending it. JEE News is going through the powers given in the chairman’s office, which is wide and vague, but found that it is not allowed to set a new office and to appoint anyone without getting approval from the constitutional forum.
