Let Pak progress: Punjab CM tells SC judges post reserved seat ruling

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched a strong salvo at the Pakistan Supreme Court over its recent ruling allowing Imra Khan’s party to claim reserved seats in the parliament, and said the apex court judges should let the country ‘progress’, Geo News reported.

“I would like to ask the SC judges to let the country function,” Maryam said on Friday, while addressing an event in Lahore.

She accused the SC judges of “rewriting the constitution” to bring one person back to mainstream politics.

“Who are those (people) who do not like the country making progress and re-write the Constitution,” she said.

The Chief Minister further said that Pakistan SC gave Pakistan Tehreek-eInsaf a relief that it did not even seek.

“They are trying to bring back nation’s criminal,” she alleged, in an apparent reference to PTI founder and former PM Imran Khan.
