Parliamentary leaders called in for a security briefing on Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The incumbent government decided on Tuesday to take the political parties into confidence pertaining to the security situation in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to details, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq had invited all parliamentary leaders for a meeting where security agencies will provide a comprehensive briefing on the matter.
The government had sought suggestions from political leaders to improve the security landscape in these provinces, which have faced increased instability in recent months.
Few days back, Sadiq said that there exists no chance of implementation of the Supreme Court’s (SC) verdict in line with the reserved seats after the constitutional amendment.
According to details, Sadiq penned a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). “The Election Act has been proved following the SC verdict on August 7 and came into effect following the signature of the president.”
The NA speaker said: “The lawmakers who will become part of any of the political parties, their affiliation cannot be changed. The apex court’s verdict was in line with the act in the past.”
“The reserved seats should be allowed considering the self-independence of the parliament. The electoral watchdog needs to implement the law made by the parliament,” Sadiq stated.
“There is a need to implement the process for the supremacy of the parliament and democracy. It is the constitutional duty of the ECP to respect the law made by the parliament. The amendment of the parliament in the Election Act has been implemented,” he maintained.
