ISLAMABAD: The Independent Senator Faisal Vawda has said that the Parliament will stand against the Supreme Court verdict on reserved seats to PTI.
Speaking to the Media, Senator Faisal Vowda stressed that while the judiciary’s role is to interpret the constitution, any amendments or changes fall under Parliament’s jurisdiction.
“Parliament is not a rubber stamp,” Vawda stated, “We will defend the constitution and stand against the decision.”
Faisal Vowda outlined a four-phase process involving the Election Commission, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Parliament, and the President of Pakistan. He highlighted that the Speaker has constitutional immunity and can exercise significant authority, while the President also holds considerable powers in this context.
Vawda criticised the Supreme Court’s ruling, suggesting it has introduced ambiguity into the constitution, complicating its interpretation and application.
The Senator expressed concern over the lack of a robust accountability system, lamenting the absence of a punitive framework that he believes is necessary for national improvement.
