Concerning the prospect of an audit of the 2024 elections in light of judicial changes—chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa’s retirement on this month’s 25th—defense minister Khawaja Asif has voiced worries.
The minister’s comments coincide with the coalition government’s apparent will to approve a constitutional package that prioritizes the judiciary as the current Chief Justice of the Philippines approaches retirement. The proposed constitutional reform bill from the Center intends to significantly alter Pakistan’s parliamentary and judicial systems.
The minister stated in an interview with a private news channel on Tuesday, “I wish that the country’s current political struggle does not reach a stage when this apprehension turns into reality. It could get exceedingly acrid.”
