Senator Sherry Rehman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) slammed President Arif Alvi on Saturday for behaving as a representative of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan rather than as the country’s president.
She stated in a series of tweets that when it came to signing the measures altered by the parliament, the president refused, citing his fear of The Almighty Allah. “But why didn’t he consider himself answerable to the Almighty when he kept promulgating ordinances one after the other when Imran was prime minister?” she wondered.
She went on to say that President Alvi should not create difficulties in constitutional and parliamentary concerns.
Sherry went on to assert that during the PTI administration, he turned the President House into a “ordinance-making” factory. “He returns laws passed by parliament simply to appease his party chairman,” said a PPP senator.
She said that as a parliamentarian she regretted the ‘non-cooperative’ behavior of President Alvi.
