Islamabad: Imran Khan, who came to power by giving the slogan of ‘New Pakistan’ (Naya Pakistan), has made the condition of Pakistan miserable to the core. Now, even the Supreme Court of Pakistan itself said that Imran Khan is not capable of running the country. Pakistan’s Supreme Court has expressed its displeasure with the Imran Khan government, saying it was incapable of running the country or taking decisions.
Pak SC on Monday slammed the Imran Khan-led government over its failure to convene a meeting of the Council of Common Interests (CCI) for the last two months.
The bench headed by Justice Qazi Faez Isa observed that “Either the government is not capable of running the country, or it is unable to make decisions.”
The apex court of Pakistan expressed disappointment over the Pakistan government’s lack of understanding of the need to conduct the CCI, as it was a ‘basic requirement to run the country’, it observed. The bench further asked the Imran Khan-led government “Despite the government in three provinces, no decision has been taken in the council. Isn’t it the responsibility of the Pakistan government to release the results of the census'” it asked.
Judge Isa then asked why was the government keeping the CCI report confidential and asked “Are good deeds being kept a secret’ It raises questions.”
The judges then reprimanded the Pakistan government asking whether the country is going to be run in this manner. The people need to know what the provinces and the Centre are doing, the bench further observed.
The bench then expressed anger over the “promulgation of the Punjab Local Government Ordinance” and stressed, “The entire Punjab Assembly was bypassed on the request of one individual, even as the Punjab government does not intend to conduct the local body elections.” Responding to this, the Additional Attorney General told the court that CCI is scheduled to take place on March 24.
