Pakistan: Shehbaz Sharif Govt To Ban Imran Khan’s Party? What Country’s Information Minister Says?

July 24, 2024, 4:44 pm

In a huge development related to Pakistan’s political arena, the country’s information minister Attatullah Tarar has emphasized on his stance to ban Imran Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf party.

As reported by Geo News, the information minister has announced, that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is going ahead with the decision to outlaw Tehreek-e-Insaf party. It will be subject to changes following appropriate legal consultations.

Speaking about the ban Tarar said ‘We have consulted with the Pakistan Peoples Party with regards to the PTI ban and are currently in talks with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan…people are strongly supporting the idea of banning PTI’. Quoting Geo News.

This declaration comes around the time, when Imran Khan has just acknowledged at Adiala Jail, that he has called for demonstration outside central headquarters in case of arrest.

Earlier, Tarar just last week, he also talked about PTI ban, declaring that PTI and Pakistan cannot exist together.

Moreover, he also announced, that they made this decision due to Khan’s involvement on May 9 riots and PTI’s alleged attempts to derail the IMF deal.

Overall, Tarar has declared that they have decided to outlaw the party, but they are awaiting consensus.

Meanwhile on Sunday, Imran Khan slammed establishment’s decision to ban the party emphasizing that this action is akin to ‘Murder of democracy.’

Talking about Party’s ban Khan said ‘Our party was already banned, it was not allowed to contest the elections, and the chairman, vice chairman and president of the party were already in jail, they still say that the party is banned. It will be done.’

Pakistan Peoples Party Urges PML-N To Reevaluate Supreme Court Review Petition On Reserved Seats Decision

July 21, 2024, 5:12 pm

According to Dawn, it was PPP, a major coalition partner in the government, that begged the PML-N on Friday to review the decision to file a review petition in the Supreme Court against the judgment about reserved seats of the PTI. PPP urged the government to back down from the legal challenge because little good could emerge from it.

The July 12 verdict by the Apex Court, allowing reserved seats to Imran Khan’s PTI, is not only going to facilitate the return of PTI to parliament but will also change the makeup of the National Assembly, ratcheting up pressure on the coalition alliance. PTI was disallowed from the February 8 polls by the December 2023 ruling of the ECP.

The PPP also proposed that the government should initiate an ongoing issue of banning the PTI through democratic means. The proposal for a ban on PTI drew strong reaction from different political parties, including PPP, ANP, JUI, and Jamaat-i-Islami, who termed the move undemocratic and dangerous if implemented.

The meeting presided over by President Asif Ali Zardari also included the PMLN Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Ayaz Sadiq, National Assembly Speaker, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar and Attorney General Mansoor Awan, whereas PPP was represented by Sherry Rehman, Farooq Naek and Nayyar Bokhari. The meeting followed complaints by the PPP that it had not been consulted about these issues by the PML-N.

Two key issues taken up for deliberation at the PML-N meeting were linked with the review petition over the judgment of the Supreme Court concerning reserved seats and an eventual ban on PTI over accusations about anti-state activities. Sources added that PPP would internally meet to reach a decision over its stance regarding the stand taken by the government on both issues, Dawn reported.

Nawaz Sharif Admits Pakistan Violated Peace Deal With India In 1999

May 29, 2024, 4:10 am

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif admitted on Tuesday that Islamabad had “violated” an agreement with India in 1999. This disclosure was made during a PML-N general council meeting, where Sharif took on the presidency of the ruling party, six years after his disqualification by the country’s Supreme Court.

Sharif stated, “On May 28, 1998, Pakistan carried out five nuclear tests. After that Vajpayee Saheb came here and made an agreement with us. But we violated that agreement…it was our fault.” The agreement he referred to was the “Lahore Declaration,” signed on February 21, 1999, by Sharif and then-Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, aimed at fostering peace and stability between India and Pakistan. However, shortly after the signing, Pakistani troops infiltrated the Kargil district in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the Kargil War.

During the meeting, Sharif mentioned that he conducted the nuclear tests despite facing pressure from the United States and subtly criticized former Prime Minister Imran Khan. He said, “President Bill Clinton had offered Pakistan USD 5 billion to stop it from carrying out nuclear tests but I refused. Had (former prime minister) Imran Khan like a person been on my seat he would have accepted Clinton’s offer,” on the day Pakistan marked the 26th anniversary of its first nuclear tests.

Sharif also asserted that former ISI chief Gen Zahirul Islam played a role in orchestrating the downfall of his government in 2017 to facilitate Imran Khan’s rise to power. He challenged Imran Khan, saying, “I ask Imran not to blame us (of being patronised by the army) and tell whether Gen Islam had talked about bringing the PTI into power,” and added that Khan “would sit at the feet of the military establishment.”

Additionally, Sharif accused former Chief Justice of Pakistan, Saqib Nisar, of ousting him from the Prime Minister’s office in 2017 based on a false case.

PM Shehbaz Sharif Resigns From PML-N Presidency In Pakistan

May 13, 2024, 5:12 pm

Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, tendered his resignation as the President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), according to reports from ARY News.

Sources indicated that Shehbaz Sharif submitted his resignation to Nawaz Sharif, the PML-N supremo. Following this development, the PML-N announced plans to convene a general council meeting in Lahore on May 28 to elect a new president. This decision came after an earlier announcement to hold a similar meeting on May 11, as reported by ARY News.

During a recent press conference, Rana Sanaullah highlighted that the Punjab chapter of the PML-N had urged Nawaz Sharif to reassume the party presidency. The party members emphasized Nawaz Sharif’s leadership and its significance in achieving the party’s goals. A resolution supporting Nawaz Sharif’s return to lead the party was reportedly passed during the PML-N Punjab meeting.

It is noteworthy that Nawaz Sharif had faced legal restrictions on holding public office following his conviction in 2018. However, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) acquitted him in the Avenfield and Al-Azizia references on November 29 and December 12, respectively.

After his acquittal, Nawaz Sharif contested and won the General Elections 2024 from NA-130 Lahore. His return to elected office marked a significant development in Pakistan’s political landscape, setting the stage for potential leadership changes within the PML-N.

Sheikh Jaffar Mandokhail Takes Oath As The New Governor Of Balochistan

May 6, 2024, 8:40 pm

Sheikh Jaffar Mandokhail, a leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), took the oath as the new governor of Balochistan during a ceremony held at the Governor House on Monday, as reported by Geo News.

The newly-appointed governor of Balochistan was administered the oath by Chief Justice Muhammad Hashim Khan Kakar of the Balochistan High Court. Outgoing Balochistan Governor Malik Abdul Wali Kakar and provincial Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti were among the attendees at the oath-taking ceremony.

Additionally, provincial ministers, assembly members, political figures, and other officials were present at Mandokhail’s swearing-in ceremony, as reported by Geo News. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) representative has now assumed the role of the 24th governor of the southwestern province.

“The problems and difficulties of the province will be discussed with the federal government. There is room for improvement in terms of governance in the province,” Mandokhail said, speaking with journalists following the oath-taking ceremony.

Governor Mandokhail, when asked about the fencing of Gwadar, stated that he had no knowledge of any such development.

“No knowledge about fencing in Gwadar. If it is being installed for security purposes, then it is a good thing,” he said.

In an interview with Geo News last week, Mandokhail, who serves as the president of the PML-N’s provincial chapter, expressed his commitment to serving the country and the nation in his capacity as governor, as per Geo News.

“I will play the role of a bridge between the province and the Centre,” he had said.

Born on December 26, 1956, in Quetta, Mandokhail completed his matriculation from St. Francis Grammar School and obtained his master’s degree from Balochistan University. He began his political career in 1974 through student politics and served as the president of MSF.

The politician made his electoral debut from Zhob on a provincial seat on the ticket of the Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) in 1988.

He held various ministerial positions, serving as the education minister from 1990 to 1993, finance minister from 1993 to 1996, and home minister from 1997 to 1999. Mandokhail contested the 2002 elections on the ticket of the Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) and emerged victorious. Following his success in the 2013 elections, he was entrusted with the responsibilities of three departments—Board of Revenue, Excise and Transport, as reported by Geo News.

In the 2018 elections, Mandokhail ran on the ticket of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) but was defeated by the candidate of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), Mitha Khan. In the 2024 elections, he contested from his Zhob constituency on the PML-N’s ticket but was defeated by a candidate from the Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F).

Pakistani: Rana Sanaullah Chosen As PM’s Advisor

May 1, 2024, 5:08 am

President Asif Ali Zardari has named Rana Sanaullah, the Punjab President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), as an adviser to the Prime Minister on political and public affairs, according to Dawn.

This move, conducted under Article 93(1) of the Constitution, aligns with the recommendation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Sanaullah will be granted the status of a federal minister. During an interview on Geo News’ program ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’, Sanaullah mentioned his discussion with the Prime Minister regarding his inclusion in the federal government. However, the ultimate decision was postponed until the return of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif from China, as reported by Dawn.

This development follows closely on the unexpected appointment of Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar as the deputy prime minister by the PML-N government. Dar, a close confidant of Nawaz, took on the position without substantial opposition from allies. Sanaullah has previously held the position of interior minister in the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led government.

According to Dawn, Sanaullah spearheaded PML-N’s electoral campaign for the February 8 general elections but faced defeat in the NA-100 (Faisalabad-VI) contest against PTI-backed candidate Nisar Jutt. Sanaullah secured 112,403 votes, while Jutt received 131,996 votes.

EVMs Would Have Resolved Election Rigging in an Hour, says Imran Khan

March 17, 2024, 11:14 am

According to Dawn, incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan remarked that if electronic voting machines (EVM) had been present it would have swiftly resolved all election rigging concerns within an hour.

The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf expressed these views during a discussion with journalists at Adiala jail following updates on the Al-Qadir Trust case, which implicates his wife, Bushra Bibi, and associates.

“If there were an electronic voting machine today, the issue of rigging would have been solved in an hour, according to Imran Khan’s conversation with journalists,” PTI posted on the social media platform.

Imran Khan alleged that the Election Commission of Pakistan, along with certain political parties and the ‘establishment’ “sabotaged the plan to bring in electronic voting.”

Speaking to the reporters, Khan sought “high treason proceedings” against the officials who purportedly stole the people’s mandate in the general elections.

While he supported the demonstration outside the International Monetary Fund (IMF) office in the US, he distanced himself from the ‘anti-army’ slogans raised by the protesters.

Imran Khan claimed that his party bagged over 30 million votes, whereas the rest of the 17 political parties jointly secured the same number of votes. He added that the PTI took up the irregularities in polls with the IMF and that non-governmental organizations also pointed out flaws in the electoral process.

First, the PTI was denied its electoral symbol of bat under a conspiracy, and then the former ruling party was deprived of its share of reserved seats, the ex-PM said, adding that the theft of the mandate was akin to treason, which attracted Article 6 of the Constitution, as reported by Dawn.

He said the Peshawar High Court’s order denying reserved seats to PTI would be challenged in the Supreme Court, adding that the Election Commission of Pakistan could not allocate PTI’s seats to other political parties.

The former PM also expressed apprehensions that he may be convicted in the Al-Qadir Trust case if the Islamabad High Court grants him bail in the cipher and Toshakhana cases.

Commenting on Pakistan’s economy, Imran Khan said that the incumbent government was not sustainable because of the ‘fragile economy’.

He also rejected the criticism that the PTI had left the country on the verge of default. According to Khan, the PML-N left a USD 20 billion deficit in 2018, and there was no other option available but to approach the IMF. Khan said the incumbent government had no mandate to carry out structural reforms. He advised the government to seek loans if it could repay the debt, Dawn reported.

Speaking about the meeting between his party’s Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and PM Shehbaz Sharif, he said that Gandapur should not have had a photo session with the PM.

Pakistan Senate Dysfunction Looms as Over Half Members Retire, Elections Set For April 2

March 12, 2024, 3:27 pm

The Pakistan Senate faced dysfunction as over half of its members retired on Monday night, leaving the upper house of parliament in a challenging position for the next three weeks according to Dawn. Usually, Senate members undergo turnover every three years as their six-year terms come to an end, followed by prompt elections to fill vacancies. However, an unprecedented delay in general elections has led to this unusual circumstance.

According to Dawn, the inability of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to conduct prompt general elections has resulted in chaos within the Senate.

The ECP has declared that voting to occupy 48 vacant positions will occur on April 2, with the election timetable expected to be released soon. Importantly, four seats formerly allocated for the former tribal areas will be excluded from the elections, as they were eliminated following their integration with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the 25th Amendment.

In the forthcoming elections, there will be competitions for seven general seats, two women’s seats, and two technocrat/ulema seats from each province, along with two seats designated for non-Muslims. Moreover, two senators will be chosen from the Islamabad Capital Territory, one in the general category and the other in the technocrat/ulema category.

Among those retiring are notable figures such as Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, Senate Deputy Chairman Mirza Mohammad Afridi, Leader of the House Ishaq Dar, and Leader of the Opposition Shahzad Wasim. It’s noteworthy that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will only lose seven senators among those retiring, including opposition leader Azam Swati, Faisal Javed Khan, and Walid Iqbal.

The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are poised for substantial transformations, with 12 out of 21 PPP senators and 11 of 16 PML-N lawmakers nearing the end of their tenures. Among the PML-N retirees are notable figures like Ishaq Dar, Hafiz Abdul Kareem, Asif Kirmani, Rana Mehmoodul Hasan, and several others.

Attaullah Tarar is slated to become the information minister, and Khawaja Asif will lead the Defense Ministry, according to the sources.

According to the sources, the Petroleum Ministry portfolio will be assigned to Musadik Malik, and Shaza Fatima Khawaja will head the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication. Additionally, Ahad Cheema is set to be appointed as an adviser to the prime minister for the Establishment Division. Former Balochistan CM Jam Kamal and PML-Quaid’s Chaudhry Salik Hussain are also reported to join the federal cabinet, as per Geo News.

IPP leader Abdul Aleem Khan and PML-N politician Amir Muqam are anticipated to be included in the federal cabinet as well.

PM Shehbaz Sharif Highlights Pakistan’s Economic Crunch

March 3, 2024, 4:28 pm

Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan’s newly elected prime minister, brought attention to the nation’s dire economic situation on Sunday, claiming that even the National Assembly’s expenses were being covered by borrowed funds, as Dawn reported.

Shehbaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), bemoaned the dire debt situation the nation is currently experiencing.

“But if we decide to do a deep surgery and bring changes in the system, basic reform…and I have no doubt that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, and others will agree that we can either get rid of a life of debt or we move forward with heads down in shame,” he said.

“No this will not happen, we will rise and we will make Pakistan self-sufficient,” he added.

In addressing the nation’s financial crisis, the PML-N leader pointed out that of the Rs 12,300 billion in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) that the nation generates, Rs 7,300 billion are awarded to the provinces under the National Finance Commission’s award, and the government is facing a staggering Rs 7000 billion deficit as a result of service charges that can total up to Rs 8,000 billion.

“Where will the money come for development, health, and education sectors? From where will the armed forces’ government employees’ salaries be paid?”

In response, he said that Pakistan’s largest problem is that all of its expenses are covered only by loans.

“All this is being afforded via loans throughout the years…This is the biggest challenge faced by the country today,” he said.

“All of our salaries are being paid via taxes. Does such a situation warrant such hooliganism?” he added.

He went on to declare that the May 9 rioters would not be pardoned and to take legal action against everyone connected to the bloodshed.

In an assembly that began with members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) raising shouts, the Pakistan National Assembly elected PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif as the nation’s 24th prime minister on Sunday.

He announced protests by the SIC lawmakers, the report said.

Pakistan: Shehbaz Sharif Elected as the PM For The 2nd Time

March 3, 2024, 3:24 pm

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Leader Shehbaz Sharif, was elected as the nation’s 24th prime minister by the Pakistan National Assembly on Sunday. The proceedings began with members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) raising a commotion by yelling slogans, according to Pakistan-based Geo News.

Speaker of the Pakistan National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said that Shehbaz Sharif received 201 votes to become Pakistan’s PM. Omar Ayub Khan, the leader of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) and leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), obtained 92 votes. He made the announcement amid protests by the SIC lawmakers, the report said.

Sardar Ayaz Sadiq is presiding over the session. The PML-N leader Jam Kamal took an oath to begin the session. But the House quickly started echoing slogans and chants raised by SIC members in favour of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and the eight-party alliance backing Shehbaz Sharif.

Subsequently, Sadiq instructed the Assembly staff to ring the bell for five minutes, allowing any member who was not physically present in the house to join the floor for the PM’s election. Following the ringing of the bells, Sadiq issued an order to the National Assembly employees to shut the doors and declared the procedure for choosing the PM, as reported by Geo News.

The speaker of the Pakistan National Assembly then briefed the parliamentarians on the contenders running for prime minister. He said, “Valid nominated candidates are Shehbaz Sharif and Omar Ayub. Honourable members who wish to vote in favour of Shehbaz may proceed to the lobby on the right side designated as ‘Lobby A’.”

Ayaz Sadiq then instructed those who wished to cast votes for Omar Ayub Khan to do so by moving to the left and voting for “Lobby B” to have their votes counted. According to a report by Geo News, members of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) declared a boycott of the polls as soon as the voting process began and left the building.

Sardar Akhtar Mengal of the Balochistan National Party did not cast his vote, yet he did not leave his Assembly seat. Following the polling process, the speaker received information on the voting procedure from the secretary of the Pakistan National Assembly. Following the counting process, Ayaz Sadiq gave the Pakistan National Assembly personnel the order to ring the bell and call the members back into the house so that the results could be announced.

Protesters Held For Going Against electoral malpractice, says PTI

March 2, 2024, 6:13 pm

Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party announced on Saturday that “peaceful protestors” were being detained for staging protests against suspected electoral malpractice on February 8th, Dawn reported.

PTI members who were led by former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, including those from its Insaf Lawyers Forum, assembled in front of the Lahore High Court and at the GPO Chowk, where they were joined by attorneys.

On the social media site X, the PTI posted a video that appeared to show a large police presence in the neighborhood. The police were seen ordering a man to exit his car and transporting him to a police van to detain him.

The PTI party said that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was “scared of peaceful protests and that she has deployed a huge quantity of police officers to stop our protests.”

According to Dawn, the party also declared that they would stage demonstrations against alleged election manipulation in over thirty places on February 8.

The PTI stated in another tweet on X that candidates who are supported by the party would hold rallies in their local communities.

The PTI has scheduled “peaceful protests” at several sites, including the press clubs in Hyderabad and Karachi.

It had previously stated that other political parties would join them.

On February 8, Pakistan conducted its 12th national general election, which was met with accusations of tampering and the suspension of internet and mobile services. In the general elections held on February 8, the PTI emerged victorious, fielding the greatest number of candidates. But the party claims that the polls were rigged.

According to a Geo News report, the PTI has declared that the votes were “not free and fair” and that it intends to organize nonviolent protests across the nation in response to the alleged rigging.

In the meantime, Punjab, Balochistan, and the Central region will be governed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the second and third biggest parties in the elections.

Pakistan: Sunni Ittehad Council Avoid Punjab Assembly session

February 26, 2024, 2:13 pm

The Punjab Assembly session convened on Monday to elect the Chief Minister took an unexpected turn when members of the opposition Sunni Ittehad Council (comprising of PTI-backed independents) chose to boycott the proceedings, creating a chaotic environment, ARY News reported.

The session, presided over by newly-elected Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Ahmad Khan, began at 11:30 a.m. and was strictly focused on the chief ministerial elections, forbidding lawmakers from addressing the session.

Despite protests from members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), the Punjab Assembly’s Speaker has stated that Monday’s session will proceed.

In reaction to the SIC members’ walkout, Speaker Khan quickly organized a committee comprised of Khawaja Salman Rafique, Salman Nazeer, Samiullah, and Khalil Tahir Sindhu to persuade the legislators to return to the parliament, according to ARY News.

The Sunni Ittehad Council’s Rana Aftab Ahmed and PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif competed for the position of Chief Minister.

Notably, at the last minute, SIC nominated Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan as its candidate in response to the provincial police’s effort to arrest its previous nominee, Mian Aslam Iqbal.

Given its strong majority in the Punjab Assembly, the PML-N increased the intensity of the election by fielding a large number of candidates.

At Friday’s oath-taking ceremony, 321 of 371 members took their oath. The contested nature of the election was reflected in the PML-N’s victory in the Punjab Assembly speaker and deputy speaker elections a day earlier, which solidified the party’s dominance in the house.

Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan was elected PA Speaker with an overwhelming 224 votes out of a total of 327 cast, while Malik Zaheer Ahmed Channer, the PML-N candidate for deputy speaker, defeated Mohammad Moinuddin of the Sunni Ittehad Council with 220 votes, ARY News reported.
