“We are moving towards a grand alliance. We want a permanent solution. Our struggle is for the supremacy of the law and the Constitution. People are requested to protest peacefully,” Qaiser remarked.
On Tuesday, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart and Senator Ishaq Dar made severe allegations against President Arif Alvi, accusing him of seeking to violate the constitution once more.
Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Dar expressed concern over the likely blockage of the upcoming National Assembly sitting on February 29, and advised fellow members not to sign any paperwork supporting the suspected unconstitutional conduct.
He cited instances in which members were unable to take their oaths during prior sessions, underscoring the significance of following constitutional procedures.
Dar emphasized that the President’s failure to sign the requisite documents for the assembly meeting was an intentional attempt to disrupt proceedings, implying a contempt for constitutional values. He denounced such behaviors, claiming that they tarnished the nation’s reputation on the international stage.
The seasoned politician underscored the clarity of the constitution regarding the convening of assembly sessions, criticising the President’s objections and the subsequent return of the summary. Dar affirmed that members whose notifications had been issued would fulfill their obligations, despite the challenges faced.
Expressing frustration at what he termed as “games being played with the constitution,” Dar called for a proper resolution of the issue by the President. He assured that the National Assembly meeting would proceed as scheduled on February 29, dismissing any confusion surrounding the session.
Dar reiterated his commitment to fostering unity among members of both national and provincial assemblies, stressing the importance of inclusivity in the political process.
He also refuted President Alvi’s assertion that the constitution was incomplete, citing reports of a federal government response to the objections raised.
