The Senate today adopted a resolution affirming the supremacy of the Constitution and the Parliament.
The resolution said that, “the demand for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation and dissolution of the Parliament was unconstitutional”.
The resolution also called for continuance of the country’s current democratic system.
The resolution was tabled by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Saeed Ghani. Earlier, a debate began on a motion moved by PPP Senator Farhatullah Babar.
“The Parliament is under siege by two violent mobs and they are using derogatory language against the Parliament and the parliamentarians,” Babar remarked as he opened the debate in the house. “Tomorrow militant groups can also come and storm Islamabad and demand control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal,” Babar added.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Mushahidullah Khan in a reference to Imran Khan said the bowler was now 63-year-old and could not drive anyone “out”.
In yesterday’s session of the National Assembly a resolution had been unanimously approved demanding supremacy of the constitution and law.
