It’s definitely not legal. That motion had to be heard and voted today. Speakers rejection and it not being heard are both violations of the constitution, and any further actions thereof; including the dissolution of assembly is also void.
Most likely the SC will revert to its prior opinion. If we look at the presidential reference hearing at the SC wrt. The question of 63A, the five member bench said that not counting votes would be “contemptuous”. You can infer from here what sort of view the SC will take, expect to see a similar choice of words.
Agreed.
If this is allowed today then tomorrow some other govt, however unpopular and corrupt it maybe, will find some reason to dismiss the NCV against it.
My fervent wish is that the opposition and govt and all accept this or find some another workaround and proceed with fresh elections! Otherwise, Pakistan will remain in uncertain condition with dire consequences. Never forget that many of Pakistan's issues are related to inability to make smooth transfer of powers until the last two decades.
