National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said on Thursday that there exists no chance of implementation of the Supreme Court's (SC) verdict in line with the reserved seats after the constitutional amendment.
According to details, Sadiq penned a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). "The Election Act has been proved following the SC verdict on August 7 and came into effect following the signature of the president."
The NA speaker said: "The lawmakers who will become part of any of the political parties, their affiliation cannot be changed. The apex court's verdict was in line with the act in the past."
"The reserved seats should be allowed considering the self-independence of the parliament. The electoral watchdog needs to implement the law made by the parliament," Sadiq stated.
"There is a need to implement the process for the supremacy of the parliament and democracy. It is the constitutional duty of the ECP to respect the law made by the parliament. The amendment of the parliament in the Election Act has been implemented," he maintained.
'Centre gets strong with good working relations between national, provincial assemblies'
Earlier on Wednesday, Sadiq said that the centre gets strong with the good working relations between the national and provincial assemblies.
According to details, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) lawmakers and officers called on Sadiq in Islamabad. The participants commended the efforts of Sadiq to reduce the political situation.
“I would like to welcome all the respected guests at the parliament. The skills of the lawmakers are vital for the sake of the democracy and serving the masses,” Sadiq said.
"It is great opportunity for the lawmakers to attend the workshop for experiencing different aspects of the parliamentary process," he said.
