Re: 30-day coutdown to “restoration of judges” has not begun - Sherry Rehman
:hehe:
Well now even more backsliding by the PPP on when the 30-day deadline will begin. Originally, Sherry Rehman said it would begin only after all 4 provincial govts had been sworn in. But now the Law Minister Farooq Naik has pushed it back further by stating it will not begin until all the rest of the ministers are appointed to the federal govt as well. The rest of the federal ministers are not likely to be appointed for some weeks yet, which means the 30-day coutdown would begin sometime in May, and complete in June!
Pakistan Minister for Law and Justice Farooq H Naik Friday said that the issue of deposed judges would be resolved amicably in accordance with the wishes of the people and in the light of the Murree Declaration. Talking to Dawn News TV channel he said the parliament would decide whether the judges should be reinstated through resolution or a constitutional package. He said 30-day countdown for the restoration of the judges should begin after completion of the process of government formation which is still not completed as only 23 ministers are working where there are 40 ministries in the federal government. Responding to a question, he said the Attorney General of Pakistan was not assisting him in finalizing a constitutional package. He pointed out that Attorney General is appointed by the president on the advice of the prime minister.
