Foreign Minister of Pakistan and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has warned of a deepening ‘constitutional crisis’ if a larger bench is not constituted to hear polls delay case, fearing that it would lead to martial law in the country, Pakistan media reported.
“Failure to form a larger bench may lead to a constitutional crisis. It is better to constitute a larger bench of the Supreme Court,” Bilawal said, as per Business Recorder.
He added: “It is a trial of the Supreme Court. It will decide whether the court is an institution for the protection of the Constitution or it wants to become a ‘Tiger Force’.”
He continued: “Historical criticism of the Supreme Court is being made. If a larger bench is not formed, history will remember Justice Umar Atta Bandial. Pakistan’s politics has been held hostage.”
Bilawal claimed that the PTI chairman was the chief polling agent of former dictator General Pervez Musharraf. “Remnants of every political dictator have landed himself in PTI,” he added.
He alleged that Imran Khan decided to release terrorists from jail and due to his decisions, nation is facing terrorism again. However, he vowed, the government will once again confront the terrorists and defeat them.
