Awami Muslim League leader Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Wednesday has filed a petition in Supreme Court against Electoral Reforms Bill 2017.
Sheikh Rasheed while speaking to media outside the Supreme Court said that the Election Bill 2017 is an act of a violation as it was based on mala fide intentions to pave way for former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to regain chairmanship of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
“There is no precedent of such bills. It is clear the government has given a message to Supreme Court and army that we don’t accept Supreme Court’s decision,” he said.
The National Assembly passed on Monday the Elections Bill 2017.
President Mamnoon Hussain ratified Election Bill 2017 the same day.
