SC verdict introduced 'super' doctrine of necessity: Punjab minister
1. Azma Bokhari says the apex court verdict has opened the doors for floor-crossing
Punjab Minister for Information Azma Bokhari strongly criticized the Supreme Court's verdict on the reserved seats case, accusing it of applying a "super" doctrine of necessity in favor of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). She claimed that the PTI received relief it hadn't even requested, suggesting favoritism towards the party.
During a press conference in Lahore, Bokhari expressed concern over what she viewed as undue favoritism towards PTI, implying that such actions undermine justice and fairness. She criticized the decision for potentially facilitating floor-crossing and for not considering the perspectives of affected parties.
Bokhari emphasized that no institution, whether judiciary or medical, should operate without accountability or limits imposed by the constitution. Her remarks underscored broader concerns about judicial discretion and the perceived consequences of legal decisions on political dynamics in Pakistan.
