PESHAWAR – Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Information and Public Relations, Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, has asserted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will annul the controversial and ‘unconstitutional’ amendments passed by the current regime upon its return to power.
Barrister Saif remarked that these amendments were pushed through in a manner that violated the sanctity of the home and dishonoured the dignity of mothers and sisters, all while committing serious legal violations. “These amendments were passed under the guise of addressing grave crimes such as kidnapping and dishonouring the sanctity of the home. The process of passing these amendments itself screams of betrayal against the constitution,” he added.
He further claimed that the current regime implemented these changes in secrecy, akin to a coup against the judiciary. “The unconstitutional amendments were passed in the dead of night, attacking the Supreme Court and aiming to circumvent its rulings. The entire procedure reflects a treacherous blow to the Constitution,” Barrister Saif added.
The Advisor emphasised that the hasty amendments were designed to avoid the implementation of the Supreme Court’s decisions. He asserted that following the passing of these amendments, PTI’s struggle would gain momentum. Barrister Saif warned those who supported the amendments that they would face public wrath and would not escape retribution in history. “Those who voted in favour of these unconstitutional changes will neither win public support in the upcoming elections nor obtain Form-47,” he cautioned.
He went on to say that PTI’s steadfast opposition to these amendments would be etched in history, while those who stood against fascism within parliament would be lauded by the nation. “Conversely, those who betrayed PTI’s founder, Imran Khan, will face condemnation from the entire nation, and history will never forgive them,” Barrister Saif remarked.
Referring to the previous elections, he highlighted the political downfall of those who defected from PTI, emphasising the consequences they faced for their disloyalty. He also appealed to the legal fraternity, urging lawyers to unite with PTI in the fight against these unconstitutional amendments and ensure that they are brought to an end.
