The Latest Attempt to Suppress PTI: Govt Announces Ban and Article 6 Proceedings
The federal government recently announced its decision to ban the PTI and initiate Article 6 proceedings against its key members, including Imran Khan and Dr Arif Alvi. This move is seen as an effort to prevent the PTI from becoming the largest party in the NA.
The announcement came after recent relief granted to the party by the top court, leading to concerns about the impact of the planned ban on the reserved seats case. Information Minister Atta Tarar cited various issues, including foreign funding and diplomatic incidents, as reasons for the ban.
The government also intends to file a review petition against the SC’s recent verdict on reserved seats for the PTI. The PTI, in response, warned that the ban could destabilize the country and trigger civil unrest.
The decision has sparked controversy, with the HRCP expressing shock and concern over the government’s actions. Legal experts suggest that the matter will likely be taken up by the Supreme Court, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
As the political landscape in Pakistan continues to evolve, the government’s move against the PTI has raised questions about the future of the party and the country’s democratic process.
