Islamabad: The government is carrying out suicide attacks on democracy by ridiculing the decisions of the judiciary and warns the rulers to avoid from unconstitutional and undemocratic steps, said Senator Muhammad Ali Durrani.
Senator Durrani while talking to a group of journalists said that in these circumstances it is the core responsibility of the parliament to play its constitutional role for restraining the rulers from unconstitutional and undemocratic steps, says a press statement on Tuesday.
The government is putting the democracy at stake by defying the orders of the judiciary. If the government wants to sustain the democratic system, it should desist from adopting the course of contempt of court.
“Bowing to the decisions of the judiciary is integral part of the democracy,” he remarked.
The former minister said that the contempt of democracy is being committed through defiance of the court orders so the system should be saved by accepting the decisions of the judiciary. He said that instead of waiting for implementation of the court orders through any other institution, the parliament should protect the democracy and the constitution by playing its constitutional and democratic role.
“If the government is resorting to an irresponsible attitude, the parliament should come forward to put the government on the democratic course,” Senator Durrani said.
“A joint session of the parliament should be convened to hold the prime minister accountable for defiance of the judiciary in violation of the constitution and the government should be compelled to implement the court decisions because the government is putting the constitutional institutions by violating the constitution,” he added.
To a question, the former information minister said that the government is pushing the country towards anarchy through violation of the law. He said that the entire nation is with the Supreme Court for the defence of the constitution.
He warned that if the parliament did not play its role for supremacy of the constitution, the entire nation would take to street for the supremacy and protection of the constitution. By defying the orders of the judiciary, the government is subverting the constitution and democracy, he stressed.
