black snake" threatening the foundations of the Constitution and democracy
'Judiciary has unconstitutionally assumed powers,' laments Bilawal
Bilawal asks political parties to join hands together for sake of country
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari lamented that the judiciary had "unconstitutionally assumed powers.".
Expressing his thoughts during the National Assembly session, the former foreign minister said: "The judiciary has become a mockery of our legal system globally."
He described former chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry, as a "black snake" threatening the foundations of the Constitution and democracy.
He went on to highlight the need for constitutional reforms, referring to previous threats by Chaudhry to discard the 18th Amendment, which could further undermine democratic progress. "We are on the verge of establishing a constitutional bench that will prioritize the people's interests," he added.
Bhutto-Zardari urged all parties, including the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to support crucial amendment proposed by JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman. "Let’s come together for the sake of the constitution and democracy," he implored.
