I cannot understand any other justification for devolving the functions of the HEC.
ISLAMABAD: If the government plans to establish organisations in place of the HEC, but at the provincial level, then why disband the Commission in the first place? Why is it that every time we have a new government it tries to erase the positive policies of the one before it? I cannot understand any other justification for devolving the functions of the HEC. Yes, the Eighteenth Amendment might mandate it, but that doesn’t mean that the government has no discretion of its own in this matter. Surely, the idea should be to use the law and the Constitution to further the public good, and not be bound by constitutional provisions.
