LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Saturday said that the party will not accept “one-sided” decisions by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, after it said that Chief Minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz will work as a trustee CM till Monday (July 25).
“Amid pressure due to bullying, threats, misbehavior, and abuses, if the house of justice makes specific decisions via the same bench and negates itself, negate its own decisions, puts its weight behind a single side then do not expect us to bow our heads before such one-sided decisions. Enough is Enough!” tweeted the PML-N leader.
The Supreme Court’s decision came during a hearing on PML-Q leader Pervez Elahi’s petition against Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari’s ruling in the provincial CM’s election.
The Supreme Court directed Chief Minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz to work as a trustee CM till Monday (July 25) during a hearing on PML-Q leader Pervez Elahi’s petition against Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari’s ruling in the provincial CM’s election.
The apex court further directed Hamza to work in accordance with the law and the Constitution until then, adding that he was not allowed to use his power as chief minister in any way that would benefit him personally.
The court, in its verbal order, has said that the chief minister’s powers will be limited.
“All the appointments will be merit-based and those made without merit will be nullified,” it was added.
The Supreme Court said that the chief minister will not do anything for political gain and that the court will keep a check on him.
