Alvi tries to win over Fazl as PTI ramps up push to halt disputed legislation
Dr Arif Alvi, a PTI leader, met with JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to discuss the contentious judiciary-centric constitutional amendments. The government, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, seeks a two-thirds majority in parliament to pass these amendments, which include extending the tenure of Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa. However, the ruling coalition lacks the necessary votes, leading to an indefinite postponement of the legislation. Opposition parties, including PTI and JUI-F, criticize the government's secrecy and demand a parliamentary debate. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari of the PPP also engaged in discussions with Fazl, but no conclusive agreement was reached. The JUI-F agreed on forming a constitutional court but has reservations about its implementation.
Lifetime disqualification: SC law verdict doesn’t affect Nawaz Sharif’s electoral prospects, says Tarar
Former law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar clarified that the Supreme Court's recent verdict on the procedure law will not impact Nawaz Sharif's lifetime disqualification, which has been revoked under amended election laws. The Supreme Court upheld the SC Practice and Procedure Act 2023 but struck down a section allowing retrospective appeals as unconstitutional. Despite concerns that this decision might complicate Sharif's political future, Tarar, a senior PML-N leader and part of the legal team, stated that the amendment in the Elections Act, 2017, concerning five-year disqualifications, makes Sharif eligible to contest elections. Tarar praised the verdict for affirming the parliament's legislative competence and called for filling vacant judicial positions in the Supreme Court and high courts.
If it is accepted that there were flaws in PTI intra-party elections then “who are they to decide”, Latif Khosa asks
Latif Khosa, counsel for the former ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), criticized the election watchdog and the Supreme Court for their decision to strip PTI of its electoral symbol, the bat, ahead of the general elections. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, upheld the Election Commission of Pakistan's plea after annulling a Peshawar High Court order. Khosa questioned the authority of the judiciary and ECP in deciding the internal matters of political parties, citing that other parties like PPP and PML-N conducted similar intra-party elections. PTI has been deprived of 227 reserved seats and will now have to contest as independent candidates, causing confusion. Khosa also mentioned an incident involving PTI-N's leader being coerced. The PTI withdrew its petition for contempt proceedings against the ECP, with Khosa stating they would take their grievances to the people's court.
PTI top leaders Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Omar Ayub deny reports saying "no one can replace Imran Khan"
Following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, reports of internal strife and accusations of treachery among the party's top leaders have surfaced. PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan have strongly denied these reports, asserting that no one is poised to replace Imran Khan. The party's core committee, led by Qureshi, has reportedly split into factions, with members accusing each other of being traitors and leaking sensitive information. PTI leader Sher Afzal Khan Marwat has also claimed that his life is in danger due to traitors within the party who have leaked core committee meeting details. Both Qureshi and Ayub have emphasized the unity of PTI and dismissed the reports of internal conflict as fabricated, maintaining that the party is preparing to face its opponents in the upcoming General Elections.
Judicial Magistrate Ehtisham Alam Khan issues orders, asks body to produce him before court on Monday
Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former foreign minister, was arrested in Islamabad in connection with the cipher case. Judicial Magistrate Ehtisham Alam Khan ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to produce Qureshi before the court on Monday. Qureshi denied compromising any secret codes of Pakistan and insisted the case was politically motivated. He also mentioned that he has cooperated with the FIA and expects justice from the magistrate. The case relates to allegations that former Prime Minister Imran Khan used a US cipher for political gain, which has been denied by the US. The FIA also arrested PTI's former secretary general Asad Umar and previously jailed Imran Khan on graft charges, disqualifying him from elections.
PTI accuses splinter group PTI-N of reneging on election agreement
The article reports on a dispute between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its splinter group, Tehreek-e-Insaf Nazriati (PTI-N), regarding an alleged agreement to allow PTI candidates to contest elections using the PTI-N's symbol. PTI claims that PTI-N backtracked on their agreement, while PTI-N Chairman Akhtar Iqbal Dar denies any such agreement and accuses PTI candidates of submitting 'fake' nomination papers. The Election Commission of Pakistan has taken notice of the situation, and the matter is pending before the Supreme Court. The disagreement includes seat adjustments and the use of the 'batsman' logo for the elections. PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan and PTI leader Barrister Ali Zafar have expressed their views on the issue, with the latter hoping for a resolution from the Supreme Court.
All those who were disqualified for life are now eligible to contest polls, says ex-law minister
Former federal law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar clarified that the Supreme Court's recent verdict on procedure law does not affect Nawaz Sharif's eligibility to contest elections. This is due to an amendment in the Elections Act, 2017, which reduced the disqualification period from lifetime to five years, even retrospectively. Nawaz Sharif, the former prime minister of Pakistan, was disqualified for life in 2017 but is now eligible to run for office again. Tarar emphasized that the parliament has the authority to legislate on matters where the Constitution is silent, and the Supreme Court has recognized this legislative competence. He also called for the appointment of judges to fill vacancies in the Supreme Court and high courts.
General elections schedule issued after much ado
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has announced that the general elections will be held on February 8, 2024, following the Supreme Court's directive. The election schedule was released after the Lahore High Court's suspension of the ECP's appointment of returning officers was overturned by the Supreme Court. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had filed a petition for timely elections, which led to the Supreme Court's involvement. The ECP had faced criticism for planning to hold elections later than the constitutional 90-day deadline after the dissolution of the National Assembly. This was due to the need for delimitation of constituencies after the digital census results were approved by the Council of Common Interests. Despite the ECP's announcement, there were concerns about potential delays, but the Supreme Court's order has set the election process in motion with a detailed schedule.
Bushra Bibi demands apology from Maryam Nawaz over corruption allegations
Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has served a legal notice for defamation to PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz through PTI advocate Faisal Farid. The notice demands an unconditional apology from Maryam within seven days for making corruption allegations against Bushra Bibi. Maryam Nawaz is accused of running a malicious campaign and defaming the former first lady by alleging that she took bribes for influencing official decisions during the PTI-led government. PTI senior leader Fawad Chaudhry announced that Bushra Bibi would lodge a criminal case against Maryam if the allegations are not retracted. Maryam has previously accused Bushra Bibi and her associate Farhat Shezadi of being involved in corrupt activities during the tenure of the Usman Buzdar-led Punjab government.
'I know more': Imran Khan on Hamid Mir's comments about Bajwa's Kashmir plan
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has indirectly supported journalist Hamid Mir's statements regarding ex-Army Chief General (retd) Qamar Bajwa's views on the Kashmir issue and Pakistan's capability to engage in war with India. Hamid Mir had discussed Bajwa's off-the-record comments with journalists, suggesting Pakistan couldn't afford a war with India. Khan, criticizing Bajwa for his role in the government's ousting, hinted at knowing more but refrained from elaborating due to national security concerns. The military's media wing, ISPR, later clarified that Bajwa's remarks were taken out of context, emphasizing the army's combat readiness and operational preparedness.
