Pakistan Constitutional Amendments:

[Forsvaret]

Constitutional dictator.

I really don’t understand the current outrage. I mean, it’s been like more than a year when Pakistani public’s mandate got stolen by Hazrat Asim Muneer’s military establishment. If there was a time to take up the fight against this "constitutional" dictator—it was then while he installed his own henchmen in parliament as "elected" lawmakers. When the people of Pakistan let that most crucial matter (theft of their mandate) slide as if nothing happened, then they have no right to complain about what’s been happening to their country ever since!

1- The same people who were raising hue and cry before are doing it now.

2- A constitutional amendment is arguably a much more explicit sign of the complete destruction of law in this country, as compared to let's say some Colonel calling up a judge.

Constitutional dictator.

So the CDS and COAS is also for life? Or does that keep getting rotated and FM is for life? Isay kabhi to martay huay sharam aye gi yeh sab kartay huay.

I have my fears come true. This usurper now wants to control other services as well. PAF did what they did, because they had the operational independence, the guardian of skies. Now he will put on hold the operations of other services while he wheel and deal with Washington in next round of hostilities.

I am amazed PAF and PN are ok with this shithousery.

A country’s constitution or its amendments literally mean nothing when those sitting in parliament as "elected" lawmakers are not really elected to begin with :

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.

Every Tom, Dick & Harry in Pakistan is either looking the other way or waiting for their Messiah (Imran Khan) to perform miracles from his prison cell.

Are the next generals in the army not competent enough that only current FM needs to stay in power forever? This will further erode trust amongst themselves and down the morale of those serving if this happens......I personally believe everyone of these people should retire on their respective retirement dates and let the cycle follow proper SOPs. Make room for new people to lead.
I'm also in favor of limiting terms of politicians, judiciary etc and also strict laws to prevent nepotism and favuritism.

What PAF and PN can do?
It is hidden martial law where two other services just work under army chief.
Just the name, army chief, now make me puke.

They are just digging a very very deep hole. Unfortunately, unless the population does not come out on the street enmass, we are doomed for the next 15-20 years where the coin will suffer irreparable damage.

27th Amendment ‘dethrones’ Supreme Court, legal experts warn

ISLAMABAD: The initial draft of the 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill, tabled in the Senate on Saturday, has led many legal experts to believe that the tweaks would, in effect, dethrone the Supreme Court as the country’s highest judicial forum, ceding that position to a proposed Federal Constitutional Court (FCC).

However, proponents of the amendment say the new constitutional court would modernise the judiciary, reduce backlogs and separate constitutional and appellate jurisdictions — a reform they argue will improve efficiency and clarity in the justice system.

Amendment to Article 175, he said, was “virtually the end of the judiciary as we knew it”, arguing that the Supreme Court had been “amended out of the Constitution by making it irrelevant”.

Former additional attorney general Tariq Mehmood Khokhar said the essence of the package was twofold.

First, the insertion of a new Chapter 1A in the Constitution that, in his view, tightens executive control over the superior judiciary through expanded powers to transfer high court judges, and establishes an FCC “empowered by disempowering the Supreme Court”.

Second, an amendment to Article 243 that formally vests the office of Chief of the Defence Forces in the Chief of the Army Staff and constitutionally guarantees the Field Marshal rank for life.


Another lawyer, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said that although the senior-most of the two chiefs would chair the Judicial Commission of Pakistan, “for all other purposes, the FCC will be in the commanding position”.

He pointed out that wherever the oaths of judges of the Supreme Court and FCC are mentioned, the FCC is referenced first. “It is clear now which court is higher in terms of hierarchy,” he said.

He noted that under the amended Article 175A, the chief justice of the FCC is listed before the chief justice of the Supreme Court and will have a longer tenure, retiring at 68, compared to the current retirement age of 65 for Supreme Court judges.

They have been digging this hole since the 1950s. Why else has Pakistan failed to stabilize and prosper? Everywhere else in the world Pakistanis emigrate to, they prove themselves a talented, hardworking and successful people. But not in their own country.

Worst thing British left behind was a colonial army and civil service, both of whom have been wrecking Jinnah's Pakistan since day 1.

I am especially disturbed by lifetime appointment of Field Marshall!!

Just tells you, who is scared the most

He wants to be a dictator for life & if that wasn’t enough, he wants to put himself above the law and wants to give himself immunity for life.

One only wants an immunity if they know they have committed high crimes.
