PML-N to defend 18th amendment


June 10, 2010

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Quaid, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said that his party will defend the 18th amendment in the Supreme Court, but not the NRO.

He expressed these views in a meeting with the anchorpersons of private TV channels on Thursday. He said that his party would support the system of Judicial Commission (JC) for the appointment of judges in the superior courts.

The PML-N Quaid said that the Judicial Commission has been formed according to Charter of Democracy (CoD), and that a single person should not have the authority to appoint the judges therefore the judicial commission system is suitable for this purpose.

He said that the whole system of the country is at stake due to ineligibility of the government and that the government worries would not go away until Rehman Malik and Babar Awan remain in the federal cabinet.

He remarked that he had advised the Prime Minister to get rid of Malik and Awan, and regretted the presidential pardon awarded to Malik.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply There seems to be no end to political bargaining in the country. Before elections, politicfal parties talk about the problems of the masses and once they get the votes and got elected in the parliament then political parties forget the masses and start tug of war between the government and the opposition. I would suggest to Mian Mohammad Nazwaz Sharif to look into the problems of the masses and ask the government as what problems of poor people are solved during the tenure of two years of PPP government? The entire nation is not consisting on one Mr. Malik and second Mr. Awan. He should talk about 17.5 crores of the people of Pakistan.
