Additional advisory for Members of National Assembly and other relevant principals:

The prime, foremost goal of a nation-state is to provide the citizens that unite together to form its People an independent way of life according to their choice, hopes and aspirations that is ensured and protected by the State as its sole purpose and objective, and to provide that it is governed with a Government and its institutional branches, that runs the country according to a collection of laws that combine to make up a Constitution, made by the People themselves directly through chosen representatives elected by them to provide governance, taxation and an economic system, all national services and public development, and as such act as the limited electoral term holder of the Offices of the Executive authority of the state, as a public service and to preserve the national order.

A constitutional amendment is the highest form of legislature that a Parliament can enact into law through democratic voting. It is an act of the people’s direct representatives voting into the permanent national order a way of life, that will govern the land of this nation. The Constitution is the Prime Essence and Fundamental Component that gives the State its existence and order. It is a contract between a group of people who want an independent sovereign territory to live together in their choice of life and society, and all of what makes up a country. It is the complete written embodiment of the State.

The legislature, the Parliament and its bicameral houses, is the collective body representing all the People, and is an physical embodiment of the Will of The People, the State’s highest granter of authority. This system of national statehood is called democracy, and is the most successful system of governance ever developed by mankind, if allowed to exist unadulterated in its original form. Democracy always wins over all other forms of governance.

The process of granting the People’s elected representatives a mandate to govern by each single citizen after knowing their electoral manifesto which they believed to the best of their knowledge that would give the People through their own choice the best solution they want for the issues and matters of national interest, and then in Parliament it may be introduced, debated on, revised and passed, signed into law and then can be enacted and enforced into becoming the Law of The Land, a part of our State; and Constitution.

The beauty of democracy. The system of government that is tried, tested and proven that if followed in true letter and spirit, and without intervention, interference and undermining the democratic processes and institutions, then can lift a country up from colonialism to the leading superpower of Human history, i.e. in example the United States of America. Similar is the socioeconomic situation and opportunities for an average adult man in both a newly-independent third world low-income/HDI country and the average newly-American adult man in 1776.

While democratic process of government for the people, by the people, of the People is not smooth and sometimes even rocky in the beginning, it allowed to grow and flourish, can transform societies and territories into global leaders of state power; and economically resource-rich several times greater than any civilisation in human history.

But if not allowed to flourish and democratic rule of the People is violated illegally and wrongly, through either force or through stealing a variety of corrupt use of state power and systems for personal gain, or by deliberately compromising national law, or by imposing a authoritarian order; then the interests and goals, of the entire nation is given over to the wisdom and point of life view of a single human. That one human is no God, and is statistically average, and to err is to be human.

The errors of one human would be transmitted to governance of an entire nation, breaking down into dissolution.

Despite ‘no’ from Fazl, govt clings to hope

• PML-N leaders say consultations with political parties underway, appear confident of roping in JUI-F
• Fazl ‘rejects’ constitutional amendments after meeting with PTI; Qaiser says party to coordinate with JUI-F on ‘all issues’


ISLAMABAD: After Maulana Fazlur Rehman ‘completely rejected’ the proposed constitutional package chalked up by the PML-N, the coalition government without losing hope has stepped up consultations with other political parties to evolve a consensus on the controversial amendments to the Constitution.

In a media talk following a meeting between the JUI-F chief and the PTI leaders at the residence of former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser on Wednesday, the JUI-F leader said, “We have completely rejected the proposed package as the government is itself saying that there’s no draft of the constitutional package.”

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has reiterated his commitment to completing the constitutional amendments, stating that if they are finalised before October 25, the matter can be resolved peacefully.

In a session with reporters in Islamabad on Wednesday, Bilawal was asked about his stance on former prime minister Imran Khan's military trial. He replied, “We need to assess the evidence first; after all, we have the authority to grant a presidential pardon.” He maintained that the PPP stands against the death penalty.

When questioned about the proposed constitutional amendments and their deadline of October 25, he stated, “If the amendments are made before October 25, the matter can be settled peacefully. While they can be done later, it may lead to confrontational situations.”

He further asserted that the PPP would not abandon the matter concerning the constitutional court, vowing to see it through to completion. “We have already faced significant delays; our demands date back to 2006 and are part of our manifesto,” he added.

Bilawal also criticised the judiciary's timing regarding certain actions, questioning why the timing of the injunction on reserved seats was not being scrutinised. He pointed out that the judiciary's four-page clarification issued on September 14, the day of a parliamentary session, raised questions about the judicial timing.

He mentioned that the head of the constitutional court would serve a three-year term and expressed his opposition to the establishment of military courts, emphasising that the justification for the federal constitutional court lies in the Supreme Court's historical precedents.

On the Karachi unrest case, which has been ongoing since 2011, Bilawal noted that the judiciary had affected the local government system under the pretext of this case, questioning whether unrest existed only in Karachi, as Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan also face similar issues.

He further criticised the political manoeuvring regarding the selection of the next Army Chief, suggesting that events on May 9 were bordering on insurrection. He warned that if constitutional amendments are not enacted, the resulting situation might spiral beyond anyone's control, noting that the 18th Amendment had previously blocked the path to martial law.
