A single bench of Islamabad High Court will today (Thursday) take up a petition challenging inclusion of Atif Mian in newly-constituted Economic Advisory Council (EAC) by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government.
An IHC single bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq will take up the petition moved by Hafiz Ehtisham Ahmad in person.
The petitioner cited the Prime Minister through principal secretary, secretary finance, secretary law, secretary interior, secretary defense, chairman National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and Dr Arif Mian, member EAC, as respondents.
Hafiz Ehtesham stated that Prime Minister Imran Khan has constituted an 18-member EAC while the secretary finance has issued notification dated August 31 in this connection. He added that the PM had also appointed Dr Atif in the EAC as member private sector.
The petitioner continued that Atif is member of Ahmadi community while he is also allegedly a relative of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani.
He contended that there is no space for the EAC in the Constitution of Pakistan and in presence of National Economic Council (NEC), there is no justification for formulation of the EAC. He maintained that the establishment of EAC is unconstitutional and illegal while inclusion of Atif Mian in the EAC is also unconstitutional and illegal.
He continued that Ahmadis by concealing their real religious identities are getting higher posts in the government and semi-government institutions, bureaucracy, armed forces and judiciary. He said the appointment of Ahmadis on higher posts is threat to the country's security.
The petitioner added that all from respondent no 1 to 5 know about the Ahmadis who are working on higher posts but they are avoiding to take action against them.
Therefore, Hafiz Ehtisham prayed to the court to suspend the said notification issued by the secretary finance. He requested the court that it may also direct NADRA chairman to submit complete details of Atif Mian before it.
The petitioner further prayed to the court to direct respondent No 1 to 5 to submit list of all Ahmadi people deputed on higher posts in the government and semi-government institutions, bureaucracy, armed forces and judiciary before it.
