LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: Expressing anger with the Supreme Court’s order, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz said that the party will not accept “one-sided” decisions of the SC which made Chief Minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz as a trustee CM till Monday (July 25).
The Supreme Court’s decision came during a hearing on PML-Q leader Pervez Elahi’s petition against Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari’s ruling in the provincial CM’s election.
Maryam Nawaz said in her tweet today, “Amid pressure due to bullying, threats, misbehaviour and abuses, if the house of justice makes specific decisions via the same bench and negates itself, negate its own decisions, puts its weight behind a single side then do not expect us to bow our heads before such one-sided decisions. Enough is Enough!”
She further stated that the current political chaos and instability started with the Supreme Court’s court decision on Article 63A, adding that it made an “arbitrary interpretation” of the Constitution of not counting the MPAs that voted voluntarily.
