Following up on the controversy surrounding the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) reserved seats, the federal government has called for a discussion on the two judges’ dissenting opinions and voiced concerns about the lengthy delay in the release of the Supreme Court’s July 12 ruling’s detailed verdict.
Speaking before the media in Lahore on Sunday, Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated, “Even after 15 days, the detailed verdict [of the July 12 verdict] hasn’t been issued.”
The minister’s comments are in reference to the supreme court’s decision from last month, in which it reversed the rulings of the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Peshawar High Court (PHC) and deemed the PTI eligible for reserved seats of women and minorities in the assembly.
