Sukkur: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is also chairman of the People’s Party, on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to move the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elections postponement case without “two controversial judges” to throw them out of the country. Form a court. A constitutional crisis.
His statement came after a three-member bench of the Supreme Court annulled the decision of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to postpone the elections in Punjab. Addressing a gathering to mark the 44th death anniversary of late prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Larkana, Bilawal demanded the Supreme Court to remove two judges from the bench “who were caught talking to the opposition on phone”. He said that if the issue of early elections in the two Assemblies Punjab and KP is settled by the Full Court, then the People’s Party is ready to contest the elections at any time. He said that the fate of the ruler and the decisions of the country should be decided by the people and not by the judges. “Judicial dictatorship is not acceptable to us,” Bilawal said, “If the crisis continues, it will destroy all political forces, including us and Imran.” Bilawal said that it is strange that when the floor crossing took place, the courts did not intervene and left the matter to Parliament. Referring to the Supreme Court’s decision on Article 63-A related to the defection clause, the PPP chief said, “Judiciary took away the throne of Lahore from PDM and gave it to Parvez Elahi, which resulted in political chaos in the country. He questioned Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandial’s refusal to form a full court on the issue of delay in elections and said that if there is no disagreement among the judges of the Supreme Court, what is wrong in forming a full court? ? You can save the country from a constitutional crisis by creating a full court.
