ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued a report regarding the implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Faizabad case, absolving Tehreek-e-Labaik (TLP) of allegations related to anti-state activities.
The ECP has requested a report from the Interior Ministry concerning Tehreek-e-Labaik’s involvement. According to the report, TLP has not engaged in any anti-state activities.
The Scrutiny Committee’s report examined TLP’s funding sources and revealed that TLP received a minimal amount of Rs1.5 million from prohibited sources, which is considered insignificant for a political party. The funds received by Tehreek-e-Labaik cannot be categorized as foreign funding.
The report states unequivocally that there is no evidence indicating that TLP is a party with anti-state inclinations.
Following the inquiry, the ECP withdrew the notice against Tehreek Labeek and enforced the Supreme Court’s decision in the Faizabad sit-in case.
The report affirms the ECP’s complete awareness of its constitutional duties.
Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa Calls SJC Meeting On Friday To Take Up Complaint Against SC Judge Mazahar Naqvi
Meanwhile, this meeting is scheduled for 11:30 AM on Friday. It marks the first meeting of the SJC under CJP Isa’s leadership.
The SJC, chaired by CJP Isa, includes two senior judges from the apex court, Justice Tariq Masood and Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan.
This constitutional forum holds the authority to investigate and potentially remove judges from superior courts in light of various allegations.
In addition to Justice Naqvi, complaints have been lodged against other superior court judges, and the SJC is likely to address the allegations against Justice Naqvi during the forthcoming meeting.
The misconduct complaints against Justice Naqvi first surfaced during the tenure of former Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial. Justice (retired) Bandial had referred the matter to Justice Tariq Masood for examination and legal evaluation.
Initially, a misconduct complaint against Justice Naqvi was submitted to the SJC by Lahore-based lawyer Muhammad Dawood.
