Supreme Court Rejected Shaikh Rasheed’s Petition To Conduct Election in NA-60 as Scheduled

We could not understand the logic behind rejecting Shaikh Rasheed’s petition by the supreme court to have the election in the NA-60 constituency as planned.

Yesterday, Islamabad High Court gave the verdicts similar to this.

We also don’t approve the satirical remarks by the chief justice that Shaikh Rasheed is contesting the election from another constituency also we will see his popularity or his election results over there. This is not the prerogative of the chief justice to comment on Shaikh Rasheed’s ability or anybody else for that matter to win or not to win the election. We believe this is a political statement. If chief justice doesn’t like him don’t vote for him.

The reason for rejecting the petition, we learned through news media is that the people of the constituency should not be deprived of electing their representative. In other words, we conclude that chief justice wants Sharif mafia’s representative should participate in the election from that constituency. We don’t think this is the chief justice to ask or expect or ensure Sharif mafia or any other political party must nominate his candidate in any given constituency.

We believe this is wrong and against the constitution. If we accept the chief justice’s logic of not conducting the election simply because Sharif mafia’s candidate Hanif Abbasi has been disqualified for election then why the same principle did not apply to other constituencies, of Maryam Nawaz, Mohd Safdar both of Sharif mafia party (PMLN) and Manzoor Wasan (PPP). That proves there is an anomaly in the verdict of the supreme court.

We are afraid supreme court will let the nation down by not giving the verdicts according to the constitution and its equal application to everyone.

Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz are Getting Ready to Fly to London?

A news channel is running a ticker that Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz are getting ready to fly out to London.

Are they going to declare death of Kalsoom Nawaz? May be. That could be a good excuse to get out of the jail and leave Pakistan. Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz’s names are not on ECL (exit control list). As everybody knows the present care-taker government is an extension of Sharif mafia and its previous government. You know how the care-taker prime minister was selected. Leaders of two mafias namely Sharif-Zardari mafia jointly agree on the name of justice retired Nasirul Mulk. This retired chief justice is the same person who did not see any rigging and did not investigate frauds of Nawaz Sharif mafia in election 2013 and cleared the elections and Nawaz Sharif. You can see when such dishonest persons make the decisions of the fate of a nation what will be result.

Unfortunately, present chief justice also have a softcorner for Sharifs. On June 9, 2018  NAB refused to allow Sharifs to travel out of the country. But on June 11, 2018 chief justice Saqib Nisar by himself without any request from Nawaz Sharif or Mayam Nawaz asked them they can go to celebrate Eid in London.

If Sharifs accounce the death of Kalsoom Nawaz then It will not surpeise us if chief justice himself ask him to go to London and visit him in the jail to offer his condolence along with care-taker prime minister and Punjab chief minister.

Can you imagine how far and deep these mafias have penetrated in the State affairs.

Supreme Court of Pakistan has Allowed Criminals, Terrorists, Money Launderers, Loan Defaulters, National of Any Country to Participate and Get Elected to National Parliament

The Constitution of Pakistan requires honest and capable people to be elected to the national parliament. For this purpose, Constitution has included necessary criteria for the prospective candidates to meet to participate in the national election.
Also, the Constitution gives the right to every Pakistani to know about the candidates’ background and other particulars before voting. To fulfill this requirement Article 62 and 63 were included in the Constitution.

To fulfill the requirements of Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution the prospective candidate has to provide the following information in the Nomination Form;

  1. The candidate must not have any criminal record.
  2. He must not be a loan defaulter.
  3. He must not be a utility bills defaulter.
  4. He has to declare his assets under his own name, his wife’s name as well as children’s’ name inside the country as well as outside of the country.
  5. He has to declare what other nationality he has if any other than Pakistani. Constitution does not allow dual national or national of any other country to be in the national parliament of Pakistan.
  6. His education level.
  7. His sources of income.
  8. His bank accounts within Pakistan as well as outside of Pakistan.
  9. His travels during the last three years and who paid the expenses.

Under the Election Act 2017 which was approved by the National Parliament, the prospective candidates don’t have to provide any data mentioned above.

We believe this Act was against the basic rights of the people of Pakistan also against the spirit of the fundamental component of democracy.

In December 2017 a petition was filed in Islamabad High Court to make this Act revoked and previous and Nomination Form which was used in the Election 2013 should be reinstated. Justice Aiysha Malik gave the verdict yesterday and asked the Election Commission to reinstate the Election 2013 nomination form.

Today Supreme Court declared Islamabad High Court’s decision null and void.

We believe without any reservations that this action of Supreme Court is total ignorance of the Constitution and clearly to support Sharif-Zardari mafia.
