Blasphemy case registered against Imran Khan and PTI leadership

[HaMoTZeMaS]

So what does proviso mean "on the ground of any irregularity of procedure" when the Speaker is bound to hold a vote on a valid VoNC "not before the expiration of three days, or later than seven days"? Is refusal to hold a vote "procedure" or a direct violation of the Constitution?

Pretty clear here too:

95 Vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister.
(1) A resolution for a vote of no-confidence moved by not less than twenty per centum of the total membership of the National Assembly may be passed against the Prime Minister by the National Assembly.

(2) A resolution referred to in clause (1) shall not be voted upon before the expiration of three days, or later than seven days, from the day on which such resolution is moved in the National Assembly.

(3) A resolution referred to in clause (1) shall not be moved in the National Assembly while the National Assembly is considering demands for grants submitted to it in the Annual Budget Statement.

(4) If the resolution referred to in clause (1) is passed by a majority of the total membership of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister shall cease to hold office.

Here are Loop Holes,

Shall
it means, It does not say "Must"
Also it does not say anything if/when the authority conducting this process declares the Vote of No Confidence Null and Void

When something is not said, the Authority aka Speaker is one holding power To decide the Grounds of VoNC if/when special circumstances appeared

Why should we, the people of Pakistan, let the Foreign Puppets, imposed illegally on the country by the Establishment, rule us ? Demanding Immediate Elections is our Constitutional Right. Why do you have a problem with that?

I have no problem with people demanding immediate elections. The timing of actual occurrence just has to follow the due process, that is all.

There are a lot of elected members of assembly with pending criminal prosecution against them in developing countries. This is not a unique phenomenon to Pakistan. It does not mean that the Justice system is completely compromised. Let's see how this plays out

Can you please elaborate in which democracy are you referring to?

Take any developing country in the neighborhood of Pakistan.

What is happening to IK?
IK has in fact become the greatest and most popular leader in the history of Pakistan after Jinnah
What you are calling 'arrogance' is steadfastness and integrity actually.
Do you deny the fact that IK has raised issues of Islamophobia and Respect of the Holy prophet (PBUH) internationally ? ... something no one has been able to do in the modern times
Yes, IK may not be perfect, no human can be, but he is the best Pakistan has got right now. And we are lucky to have him

i m not saying he is the worst or bad. but his dethroning from the government is his own fault. he is arrogant. he never listens to the opinions of his fellow politicians. u talk about him raising the issue of Islamophobia while at home he refused to take action against blasphemy committed by french president. his favourite CJP freed aasia on suo moto action without listening to the prosecution and the petitioner. he ordered the murder of several protesters of TLP. and dont forget jahangeer tareen who was named MUJAHID E AZAM by pti fans because he was buying the votes of MNA's and MPA's by bribing them. is that how the REAL RIASAT E MADINA was founded???

Read clause 1 again dear, says may and not shall. Another words, speaker does not have to act as a post man and can reject the motion based on substance.

What 'subsequent events' are you talking about?? The overwhelming majority of Pakistanis have already rejected this US-sponsored judicial coup. You can come here and see for yourself

And as we are talking about the Constitution here, The Constitution doesn't forbid the speaker from rejecting a VoNC he/she thinks contradicts with the letter and spirit of the Constitution. At best, it is silent on this matter. The Constitution, however, does explicitly forbid the courts from interfering in the proceedings of the legislature. Your stance is legally unfounded and is based more on "Nazriya e Zarurat" than the text of the Constitution. The Courts have went as far as ordering NA speaker to take oath from a CM who hadn't been even legally elected to the office. An open mockery of the law and Constitution that you choose to ignore because this time it has been used to the benefit of those whom you support !?

It’s actually implicit that the speaker can by using the word may and not shall in clause 1 of said article.

I think it was for the protective bail of Dr. Shahbaz gill since he is returning from the US and was of the view that just like SR Nephew Rashid, he too would be arrested by the FIA and sent to Faisalabad. I think bail has been given.

Two petitions. One, which you mentioned. The other one is to restrain government from arresting any body on the basis of these FIRs. IHC has stopped government to take any action till the next date of hearing, which is May 9. All parties have been given norices.

Just a minor balancing act, to conceal their black deeds. Nothing more.

Some of you guys cant be serious being OK with a PM and cabinet that is filled with crooks.

I mean being pro or anti Imran Khan aside, how do guys justify this.

People have really lost their marbles.

It's a significant portion of Pakistani society that pro-corruption, pro-oppression, pro-lawlessness, and pro-immoral that has benefited from such a system personally that will follow the current PDM imported government to their graves and to hell.

He are in love with Haram $$$$$

Yar yeh Kab tak chaley ga..... Saazish tu yeh hy kay shazish ko manatey nehein.....

IK has exposed entire Pakistani system from inside out.

Let's just imagine, hypothetically, for the the sake of brainstorming the issue that Imran Khan is assassinated in a suicide blast, like Benazir Bhutto. What would happen?

When Benazir Bhutto was killed there were riots around the country. A lot of damage was caused in Karachi, Lahore and elsewhere by PPP jialas.

Would it be any worse for Imran Khan? Most of his supporters are much more civilized than the junglee jialas of PPP. They may burn some cars and buses, but maybe not even as bad as PPP.

If it is foreign enemies who are behind the assassination, they will probably be happy to see as much destruction as possible. The local establishment may consider Benazir Bhutto level of destruction as acceptable.

PTI is a one-man-show to a large degree. With Imran Khan gone it may not last for long. For anti-PTI planners, foreign and local, it will be very tempting to get rid of him to gain complete control over the country.

I respectfully disagree with your last paragraph. PTI is no longer a one man show. Ali Muhammad Khan and Asad Umar will be a great choice after Imran Khan.
