Election Commission’s Authority Challenged: Qamar ul Islam Urges Institutions to Respect Constitutional Limits

“Chairman of the District Coordination Committee and Member of the National Assembly, Engineer Qamar ul Islam, has expressed his concerns over the recent judicial decisions on specific seats, stating that the judiciary’s bias is evident. He believes that the judiciary’s focus is on interpreting the constitution rather than upholding its spirit. He warned that history has shown that when the constitution is violated, it leads to chaos and instability in the country.

Speaking at a press conference at the Rawalpindi Press Club, he emphasized that the Supreme Court’s decisions have pleased one particular segment of society, but the nation is shocked and disappointed. He reiterated that the nation expects decisions based on the constitution and law, not personal preferences.

He questioned the judiciary’s decision to favor a party that was not even a part of the petition, granting them more than what they had asked for. He urged the institutions to work within their constitutional limits, as any transgression would lead to further chaos and instability in the country.

He emphasized that the constitution entrusts the Election Commission with the responsibility of conducting elections, and any interference in their authority is unacceptable. He warned that if the institutions continue to overstep their bounds, it would lead to disastrous consequences for the country.

He appealed to the public to remain calm and patient, despite their disappointment with the judicial decisions. He urged the relevant institutions to provide a correct interpretation of the law and constitution to alleviate public concerns and mistrust.

In conclusion, he emphasized that the country’s progress and stability depend on the institutions working within their constitutional limits, and any deviation would lead to chaos and instability.”
