The Opposition alliance demanded Thursday that the National Assembly (NA) deputy speaker’s “unconstitutional ruling” be immediately reversed and that the National Security Committee (NSC) inform the nation of the facts.
The joint Opposition meeting took place in Islamabad at the residence of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman. The current political situation and other topics were discussed during the meeting.
Fazlur Rehman read out a joint communique following the meeting, in the early hours of Thursday, in which he stated that rejecting the no-trust motion against the Prime Minister by violating the Constitution was a heinous attack on Parliament and the Constitution. He read out that the joint Opposition would go to any length to safeguard the country’s parliamentary system.
“Because the NA deputy speaker’s unconstitutional ruling is part of a conspiracy to impose a presidential system and dictatorship, it should be repealed immediately,” it stated.
Additionally, the joint communique stated that those who violate the Constitution should face exemplary punishment.
Additionally, the joint Opposition demanded that the National Security Committee (NSC) inform the nation of the facts in order to save the country from further anarchy and chaos.
According to the joint Opposition statement, Friday may be observed throughout the country as ‘Constitution Protection Day.’
In this vein, rallies across the country, including a lawyer’s convention for the protection of the Constitution, will be held.
