Islamabad: The president of the National Assembly, Ayaz Sadiq, has described comments from a judge of the Superior Court of Islamabad as an attack against Parliament.
Speaking during a session of the National Assembly, Sadiq said that the judge’s statement was an assault on the legislative body and that no one has the right to make derogatory comments about Parliament.
Sadiq also ordered the Federal Minister of Law Azam Nazeer Tarar to transmit to the relevant judge that Parliament is supreme.
In addition, the speaker mentioned that he had written separate letters to the government and the opposition regarding the appointment of the electoral commissioner.
The comments in question were made by Judge Mohsin Akhtar Kayani of the IHC during a hearing today related to a petition that challenges the results of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) examination.
“The pillars of the Judiciary, the Parliament and the Administration have collapsed; the Pilar of the Judiciary is in the air, but we are not yet discouraged,” said the judge.
Last month, while heading to an event, Judge Kayani said that the 26th constitutional amendment was introduced based on a letter.
“Even if the 26th amendment exists, it cannot discourage us from our intentions. Such stages have occurred in the history of Pakistan before, and today, the hope of the people falls to the Judiciary, the Parliament and the media.”
In addition, he added that he believes that the 26th constitutional amendment will ultimately be heard by a complete bank of the Supreme Court, and this problem will be resolved for the survival of the people of Pakistan and the system.
