Just because Marshall law was imposed doesn’t mean PM has no democratic powers. No-confidence motion has nothing to do with his democratic powers.Then why was a petition to challenge that specific exercise of PM's power dated well ahead of the IK's no confidence motion's passing was filed with IHC and heard upon at the midnight hour?
And why was martial law imposed the last time this very order was given and acted by a PM?
He renewed the extension and refused to sentence Nawaz Sharif to death. He chickened out.
Marshall law is illegal and no-confidence doesn’t undermine his democratic rights.
No governing body is above the law except democratic government elected by the public. They serve the public - not the other way around.1) No PM has de facto power over the COAS in Pakistan.
2) The PM cannot arrest and sentence anyone. Only law enforcement and the courts can, respectively.
We already know the answer. The COAS is totally above the law. The SC is scared.
The bigger question is: what is the solution?
Only different is that most of governments chicken out in front of main establishments and refuse to risk their lives whereas they should be ruling to the interest of the nation - not to the main establishments.
