Islamabad: The government has proposed an “establishment of a parliamentary committee” as an alternative to the Judicial Commission (JD) by Pakistan by investigating the May 9 and November 26 incident.
The government suggested that it ‘presented’ the Charter of the Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) charter to the National Assembly (NA) Speaker Ayaz Sadiq’s demands.
According to the government’s response, the government did not directly reject the PTI’s demand for the Judicial Commission, but proposed the formation of a special parliamentary committee as an alternative to investigating the May 9 and November 26 incident. Is
In response to the government, the conditions under which a judicial commission can be formed, as well as legal and constitutional reasons, it is not possible that this is not possible.
It has also advised the current committee to give parliamentary status under the leadership of NA Speaker.
The government has also cited legal and judicial decisions about the demand for the release of PTI’s founder, Imran Khan and other prisoners, which states that if given by the courts, it is bail or release. But there will be no objection.
The government has also demanded that the Pakistan Tehreek -e -Insaf (PTI) provide a list of missing persons. However, members of the NA speaker or committee have decided not to make the government’s response public at this stage. If the PTI returns to the negotiating table, a response will be presented to the committee for further discussion.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has been informed about this situation. However, it seems that there is a difference of opinion between the government and the speaker’s office regarding the future of the negotiation committee. Although the Speaker’s goal is to maintain the committee, the government is inclined to dissolve it after January 31.
The government’s response did not reject the establishment of a judicial commission, but emphasized the challenges and legal complications involved. It also outline specific circumstances under which a commission can be constituted, while reaffiring its priority for the parliamentary committee to resolve the issues.
The talks between the government and the PTI may not be the fourth round as the latter refused to participate in the January 28 meeting, citing unnecessary demands and lack of progress on important issues.
National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq called for a meeting of the talks committees in Parliament House on January 28. During preparations, Sadiq contacted PTI leaders – Amir Ayub and Assad Qaiser, who once again increased the invitation.
However, the PTI made it clear that it would not attend the meeting, and the government was accused of failing to meet the demand for the establishment of a judicial commission on the events of May 9, 2023 and November 26, 2024. Is
PTI is set on its stand
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar said, “We will not only participate in a photo session for congratulations. This is a serious matter, and to resolve our demands in the seven -day unanimous time of the government. No action has been taken.
He added, “The talks have ended for us because the government has not shown any intention to resolve such important issues. The government has neither announced anything, nor has it taken any other step.
The PTI had previously presented a charter of demands during the third round of talks held on January 16, emphasizing the need for an independent judicial commission to investigate the aforementioned incidents.
‘More frustrated than PTI’s stubborn
On the other hand, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, a spokesman for the government’s negotiation committee, expressed disappointment over the PTI’s position.
He said he was violating a seven -day unanimous timeline, which is ending today. We have completed our share of the agreement, and it is up to them to decide whether they want to cooperate. If the PTI does not attend the meeting, the matter will be resolved. We will give a written answer to the NA Speaker and move forward.
On January 24, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq convened the fourth meeting of the committees of negotiating with both the government and the opposition. The meeting was scheduled for January 28. The meeting was to be presided over by the speaker.
However, National Assembly opposition leader Amir Ayub had clearly stated that the PTI would not participate in the fourth round of meetings on January 28.
Opposition leaders strongly criticized the recent legislative measures, claiming that the new laws were being reduced with transparency and would be used as tools to suppress the voices of the media and opposition. Barrister Gohar had said that any legislature must follow the constitution, emphasizing that the present government is passing the laws in a way that will ignore the constitutional process.
