Please watch 24th August 10 'Tonight with Najam Sethi' regarding my Imran Khan thread

[Khan007]

In today's episode Najam Sethi mentioned about the same things which I posted in my Imran Khan/Army takeover thread yesterday.Najam mentioned that there is no possibility of a martial law but a constitutional take over on SC's orders. A national government scenario may be brewing up and next two months are crucial. He noted that Imran Khan is becoming too active and is coming upon every channel for interviews. Although Sethi was a bit sceptic about Imran's role, he did say that Imran Khan may be the only last hope for a corrupt free government and the army may have a secret backing as Imran and Altaf are singing the same tunes and GHQ may be behind all this.​

My friend neither do I like him but he is one of the top insiders who know almost everything regarding the government. He should not be taken lightly as he knows many things.

What is a constitutional takeover on SC's orders?

There is no such provision in the constitution. Parliament is supreme.

I think there is no constitutional takeover of Army on SC's order but if the govt. does not act or refuses to act on the orders of SC, Army can be called to help Supreme Court implementing its verdict. In this case some people are assuming that supreme court will rule out 18th amendment and also it will order to pursue with the NRO cases which can lead to an end of the current setup. After that a national govt. shall be formed for a limited period of time.

There is one, Supreme Court has this power and it has been debated many times over many talk shows, and confirmed by many senoir Judges and Lawyers.

If Government doesn't follow the orders of Supreme Court, which of course means goes against the Law then Supreme Court has the power to ask army to assist supreme court to get its orders followed by the government. And in serious cases it can result in an over throw of government and reelections under Army which will itself work under the orders of SC.

Parliament is Supreme.
This is just a phrase there is nothing above law. Any parliamentarian or government can be held and is accountable for their actions to a country's judicial system for their wrong doings, although a few governments have kept a luxury of keeping the president or Prime Minister away from accountability but only as long as they are serving for their respective posts, later their is nothing to protect them.

Correct.

People here don't know that it is just one or two points about the modality of appointment of judges which is under Supreme Court's review for 18th Amendment. SC cannot bring down the whole 18th Amendment.
And if you follow the proceedings there is more than rumblings--even by some judges that 'parliament is supreme'. S.U.P.R.E.M.E!

As far as NRO, well, that may force Zardari and a few other politicians to follow legal course. Yet still that cannot be used to bring down the central govt.

By the way, all 5 federating units have coalition govts from ALL major political parties. I'd say that is hardly a 'Zardari govt' considering that the majority of population is under Sharifs and they can give the federal ministers hard time in 'Pindi like they did in the first term of Benazir Bhutto.


Army will NOT INTERVENE. Its image was in dirt barely 2 years ago and Kayani is trying to revive that image. So far a good job.

Lol. You have no idea of democratic system. In a democratic society, the collective will of the people as represented by the elected members of the parliament is supreme over any constitution or law. The 1973 constitution did not conjure itself out of thin air. It was made and approved by the parliament. The 18th amendment cannot be rejected by the SC. If they do they will loose credibility.

Now coming to the question of individual accountability, the parliamentarian as an individual is subject to the fullest extent of the law, but again parliament as an institution is supreme.

 

[flameboard]

Imran Khan and Altaf are in no way singing the same song. Imran Khan is what Pakistan needs, plus Imran Khan and Altaf would not have the same goals since Imran Khan hates Altaf. Here's why http://www.defence.pk/forums/nation...stans-top-most-terrorist-says-imran-khan.html
