The Supreme Court and military legislation was rejected by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl on Tuesday, claiming that the government had tried to prolong its rule by removing provisions from the original draft of the constitutional amendment.
JUI-F spokesperson Aslam Ghauri told reporters, “The actions of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party are not democratic in any way.” “With a fictitious mandate, we reject legislation from the assembly.”
Despite protests and sloganeering from the opposition, the federal administration pushed “key” laws through Parliament on Monday that dealt with the higher judiciary and the tenure of the services chiefs.
On Monday, the six laws cleared the National Assembly in twenty-four minutes and the Senate in sixteen minutes.
