The Additional Secretary General of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Saifullah Khan Niazi has advised the government to avoid collision course with the Supreme Court, as it is neither in the interest of the people, nor any service to democracy.
There is independent judiciary in the country for which the people have rendered tremendous sacrifices, the masses would not tolerate any kind of conspiracy against independence of judiciary, he warned, saying "The government has made it a point to defy every order of the apex court."
Never before in the history of the country has this happened before that a sitting government should be refusing to implement the verdicts of the Supreme Court not once but so many times, he added In a press statement issued by the Central Media Cell of PTI on Thursday the PTI leader said by dilly dallying in the implementation of the Supreme Court's verdicts, the rulers have been setting up a very dangerous precedent, which can lead the country to the jungle law.
Saifullah Khan also said that by accepting that about 44 percent of the voters' list comprised bogus votes, the election commission has in fact admitted what the PTI has been saying since long that the elections of 2008 were gerrymandered. How a government, which has come into being on the basis of bogus votes can claim that it enjoys the mandate of the people? he asked.-PR
