In response to the Supreme Court’s judgement on Qasim Khan Suri’s April 3 judgement rejecting the no-confidence vote against then-prime minister Imran Khan, the Federal Cabinet on Friday established a special committee to recommend legal action against “transgressors of the Constitution.”
Following the cabinet meeting, Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb announced that the committee, which included representatives of all the coalition partners, the ministers for information and the interior, and the law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, would present its recommendations to the cabinet at its following meeting.
The minister said that a resolution praising the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Qasim Suri’s “unconstitutional” ruling had been unanimously accepted by the cabinet members.”The thorough ruling by the SC, based on the Constitution’s supremacy, is noteworthy because it has buried the “doctrine of necessity.” The previous administration and others who held constitutional positions at the time are being indicted.
The previous administration’s constitutional violations have been established, she remarked as she read the resolution aloud.The resolution stated that the deputy speaker’s decision to reject the no-trust motion was “unconstitutional” and that the dissolution of the National Assembly was “null and void,” the minister continued.
The “story of regime change under a foreign plot,” she claimed, had been exposed as manufactured, false, and unfounded by the judgement. The resolution also stated that the previous administration made substantial attempts to undermine foreign policy objectives and economic security due to their “thirst for power” at the time. It was underlined that the honourable court had correctly questioned why, if the conspiracies to bring about a regime change were such a serious issue, the Imran Khan administration had taken no action and instead stayed silent.
