PAKISTAN NEWS DIGEST - A Selected Summary of News, Views and Trends from Pakistani Media

16 Oct 2024

The party, in a surprise change of tone, took the bull by the horns as it announced the launch of a movement in Punjab, resisting any maneuvering on the part of the ruling dispensation to influence the judiciary by exigently amending the Constitution. [...] The proposed amendment has dented the parliamentary credentials of the ruling coalition, and exposed their alleged intentions of clipping the feathers of the judiciary. [...] If the tradition of mass arrest of opposition members from the premises of Parliament is set, then the parliament will also lose the symbolic sanctity which is considered as the pillar of the power of the state. [...] The question is why Chief Minister Gandapur felt the need to negotiate directly with the Afghan Taliban? Was the federal government aware of this process? Was this step in accordance with the principles of Pakistan's foreign policy? Not only PTI has to answer these questions, but also the people of the country must be informed about the facts behind these actions. [...] The other thing is the amendment that has been brought by the government and the practice and procedure, the said judgment is incapable of implementation.
